Yep. It's totally normal and is specifically referenced in the Owner's manual as being to be expected. It clears when you use the car.

The LED lights are vented, apparently, so condensation is expected.

I have condensation in my LED matrix lights, depending on the ambient conditions. It always clears, though, after driving or just simply when the day warms up and the air dries out.

What you don't won't to do is cover the headlight will foil to clear the condensation which used to be an old trick on glass headlights.
