Disppointed, but at least it's an easily affordable replacement. Lesson learned for others...a couple minutes of siliconing seams could prevent this for the next person.

I've installed countless sets of eBay headlights/taillights for people, and while they work great (most of them being better than stock BMW equipment in terms of light out, for far less), but I've learned from them as well that they're sometimes not sealed the best. The headlights seems to be the biggest culprit since the front lenses are removable for replacement, so I just run a small bead of clear silicone on every installation now. Even my stock headlights (pre-angel eyes) would get condensation inside them when I washed the engine bay, so I siliconed them when I reinstalled them post angel eyes.
