Is this a big deal? When I wash the LC I get some moisture appearing for a few days on the inside of the drivers side headlight lens. Is this a easy fix or should I ignore it?

I've been ignoring mine for almost a year now. It really irritates my wife though. 
I was going to seal up the seam, but I'd have to pull the whole assembly and that's almost like work.

Even though there is obviously a bad seal, I would only see it as a problem if the moisture persists for more than a few days ( As long as it is a high pressure spray that is causing this, not a garden hose w/nozzle).
Of course, any MAJOR water build-up or prolonged moisture in the headlight can cause an ugly short , decrease the bulbs life, or worse yet..eat away at the reflective material inside the housing, but I see other Toyota models suffer from mild fogging all the time, and it doesnt seem to cause any real issues.

looks fugly......... get a new PAIR of lights
Wait till all moisture is gone and you have some nice hot dry weather. Then seal the seams with silicone caulk.
This has worked great for a nasty chip in my left headlight.

Sealed mine up today. Remove the grille, turn signal then the headlamp assembly. The seal was definately bad, looked like a really nontypical crappy assembly job. The seal is made of stay-gooey grey stuff, not bad enough to allow the two pieces to separate though. 
Cleaned it up around the seam and siliconed it.
