Obviously your headlight isn't completely sealed.
Find where it isn't sealing and use a bit of silicone, very simple.
...foolish would be buying a car that is no fun to drive.

^^ this.
It's not just annoying; eventually that moisture will corrode the reflector inside the headlight - reducing your beam.

Check where your bulbs plug into the back of the headlight. Maybe there's a missing gasket or something isn't properly seated. Compare with the passenger side.

Take out the headlight, take it apart, clean the inside, and redo the seals with silicone.

Could be two problems
- leaky seal
- vent for your headlight is plugged.
Normally the moisture evaporates out of air holes in the housing but if they arent open, the water will stay.
