Condensation inside headlight

I noticed today that I have some condensation inside of my drivers side headlight. First off I know this is a bad thing and I checked and I didn't see any visible cracks in the glass of the headlight housing. What I would like to know is what is the danger to my HID's, will they be damaged by the moisture inside of there? Should I avoid turning them on? Also is replacing the headlight the only option I have now?

Thanks,
Adam

It is definately not good for your HIDs. Extreme Heat + Water = crack.
