you most likely have a crack not noticiable and the moist gets in trhu there or the bulb isn't sealing properply once you insert it in and turn it. If budget is short and can't afford new lamps. I would take the lamp of and clean the inside thru the bulb hole but the end of the road is getting new lamps  .

rocks ...definitely... and cheap headlights have some influence on that ....  ... am sure BMW headlights get little-non moist inside due to rock hitting them... just my $0.02
