To understand mist inside a headlamp lens, compare it under normal, safe conditions: cold versus warm, idle versus steady speed, and light versus higher load. Record whether moisture is a light haze that clears or visible droplets that remain. Change one condition at a time so the result stays useful.
Do not create a risky test just to reproduce it. Check the lamp cover and seals only from a visible position; replacing a bulb with the wrong type can affect sealing.
