The headlights are not air tight and humid air will get in there. When it gets cooler that moisture will condense and fog a little. All car lights inside housings do this to some extent or another and short of filing the housing with an inert gas and sealing it 100% air tight there is no avoiding it happening over time.
If some condensation inside lights make you give up on a car then you may be in for a disappointing life of automotive ownership.

Oh and LOL at "raining quite a bit" and "cold weather" in Southern California.
