The headlight cover fell off while driving when I realized it I checked the other lights and saw that they are all loose and ready to fall off. Now that the cover fell off, the bulb is blown because of rain. We had complained about moisture in the covers to our dealer and were told that is normal, which anyone would know it isn't normal. Did call Pontiac but haven't heard back yet. I found out there are many vehicles that this is happening to.

Both headlights and one front sidemarker (turn signal) light were replaced under warranty due to excessive moisture/water droplets inside the assembly. One of the replaced headlights now has the same problem again (twice in 2.5 years). Pontiac has issued a service bulletin to dealers saying not to replace any more headlight assemblies because the moisture that forms within them is normal. They say the moisture should dissipate after the headlights are on for a few hours. Some of the moisture does go away, but I consider it a safety issue when half of the headlight lense is covered with steam/water even if some of it eventually clears up. I contacted Pontiac directly and they refuse to do anything about this.

Headlamps have moisture on the inside of the lens which could distort the lighting. This moisture does not go away. Pontiac says this is a "normal" condition.
