Default Damn Headlights won't stop fogging

Okay, I've read past posts of workarounds ut this is rediculous. The dealer told me that my headlights are vented. Why would an HID housing be vented? It's been a month since I've had my car, one side is clear now or should I say, if it fogs, when the lights are on, it goes away but the other side will not go away. There are no cracks or anything. I'm thinking the dealer pressure washed the engine bay before I purchased and caused it from the start...any ideas or should I say, has anyone actually won this battle with Audi?

You have condensation in the light. When it's cold out, it sticks to the glass. Remove the headlamp, remove, the rear cover, & put a blowdryer in there for about 10min, this should remove any condensation on there, & not make fog up any more.

theres a TSB on this, and theres nothing audi will do for you

audi claims it wont distract the beam as far as distance, at least not enought for them to be of concern
i know sucks, mine do it too, so i looked into it before
