This happens on my Rocco and has happened on the last few VAG cars I've owned in cold damp conditions.

I've seen this after I've had the car jet washed a few times and that's since it was new so I'm guessing it's normal.
May be worth checking the fitment of the cap on the rear to make sure it's got a good seal.
10 minutes with a hair dryer will cure it although I'm not sure what the neighbours would think.

Had this on a number of VW's.
The way to prevent it is to put some desiccant sachets (Silica Gel) in the back of the headlight. This will a sort the moisture in the light. Put one in each headlight for a week then change for a new one. Should clear it up in no time.
