Thats not bubbles that condensation. Your headlight has a leak in its seal or the breather tubes are shot.

Open up the housings, dry it out real well and the completely reseal them to prevent any moisture from getting in there in the future.

Moisture will reoccur if the breathers are the issue.

I used a heat gun, you just have to be careful. I want to warn you though, if you dont want to do custom headlights, the DONT open them yet, check for a leak in the lense by plugging the breathers and soaking the headlight on a hot day, if they DONT condense do the breather mod.

If they still condense you have a leak in the seal between the lense and housing.

use the headlight diy on this front page of threads (currently) to do a rebuild. Moisture + projector = haze.
