Xenon steam

After a nice sunny ride I got back home and washed my baby. The car was in normal working temparature and after I threw some water stains of steam grew inside the headlamp walls. Something like this:

I repeat that the car was in normal high temparature. Have you seen any steam signs yourself while washing?

it used to happen to my E90 after a wash or heavy rain, but it would evaporate soon after, i never saw or experienced any damage because of it.
