You may have a leak between the headlight lens and its case.

I had a similar problem on my S2000 when i first got it, heat from the lights eventually dried it out once it stopped raining over a few weeks, solved it by removing the light and smearing clear silicon all the way around the join.

Its been parked outside all winter now and the problem has not returned.
