Read a few stories about condensation in the headlight so I was just beginning to worry.

Also, I just need to make sure the car is not running right? No need to disconnect battery when installing headlights?
Nope! And not on the tail lights if you have replaced bulbs with LEDs and then change bthem back to stock because you need to have the tail lights replaced under warranty because of water ingress, i.e., the original seals were defective. The Canbus system shows faults but does not seem to record changes. Others may have different ideas though.
