Yep that's the breather cap. I actually just discovered that it's been causing moisture problems in my passenger headlight. It's been getting moisture in it after it rains for a while but dries out shortly after. Over the winter I went around the entire lens with clear silicone in an attempt to seal it but water was still getting in. There has also been a small piece of plastic in the light for a while but I never figured out where it came from until I pulled the breather cap off today. The plastic piece chipped off the hole for the breather causing the hole to be bigger than the cap and allowing moisture to get in the light. I'm gonna go around the hole with some silicone and hopefully that fixes the leak. Maybe that might fix your guy's problems too!

Take the cap off and leave your lights on for a bit, that usually gets the moisture out for me. After that work on sealing them up. Try putting silicone around the cap and see if that works. After that take a look at the seal between the bulb and the headlight itself.

And you never thought that that might be causing your problems?

never really thought about it because its behind the headlight because the main source of my condensation was at the bottom tip of my capsules....well at least thats where it seemed like it was coming from because there was no condensation anywhere else...
