Description of the problem	2008 subaru legacy gt with moisture/condensation buildup in headlight. Automobile was taken to dealership for 15k servicing and was told that condensation buildup is normal during transitional seasons (spring/fall). However i presume that the moisture is causing temporary disruption of the electrical system as the lights function intermittently. Often when the car is started and the lights are turned on, only one of the lights will come on. After turning the lights on and off several times they will both work. I am afraid that i will be in a position where both lights stay off and will not come on forcing me to drive without headlights.
