very common problem,

easiest thing to do is goto www.ozeparts.com.au (http://www.ozeparts.com.au) and buy a replacement from there and do it yourself

get your head under the front bumper, and it undo's with about 4 screws....
or just do what I do, when u see condensation, just drive with the foggies on for a little while and it will evaporate.....

but if your car is still under warranty just take it to holden, they *should* just replace it, just dont mention the smash, otherwise they'll pass the buck onto the smash repairers who fixed it......

I just put a packet of moisture absorber behind each light (tuck it in between the wires/connectors) and it clears up in a day.
The stuff you put in wardrobes etc. (Throw it away when it has absorbed all it can).
Otherwise the lights may short and, 'tink' new globe.
