Default Condensation forming on inside of headlight lens

I noticed that one of my headlights has some moisture forming on the inside of the lens. I took it to the dealer, and they refused to cover it under warranty (another story). I've taken a blow dryer to it a couple times and gotten rid of it, but obviously it comes back. I took the bumper off and removed the headlight to inspect it, but there were no cracks anywhere, so it must be a bad seal. I tried sealing all around where the clear lense mounts onto the plastic casing with some silicone, but that didn't solve it.

So my question is, has anyone else noticed moisture forming inside their headlights? Any ideas on how to fix it? Through the dealer, a new headlight is about $270. Online, it's about $215 with shipping through "Mazda Parts" - parts and accessories below wholesale. Has anyone bought parts from this place, or recommend another online dealer to buy oem parts from?

I'd like to try some more things with the headlight I've got, but if I can't fix it, I'd like to know where to go to get a reasonable price on a new one.

Thanks in advance.
