Default Crazy headlight wiring issue and inside condensation problem.

First some back story, I bought this car used from a private seller a couple months ago and he had an led strip (think autozone)above each of the headlights so of course that had to go. I just grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the wires and threw them away.

Flash forward to now and I have a headlight out, not sure if it just recently went out or if I just never noticed it before but either way it needs replacing. When I went to check the bulb I saw a mess of wires I dont think belong there, but I'll let you guys be the judge:

Driver Side:


Driver Side:


The red wire at the bottom of the last shot goes into a connector where the original wire was cut, I tried to get a shot of it but this was the best I could do:


Driver Side:


Passenger Side: (the two black and red wires went to the led strip)


Headlights On: (I disabled the DRL by bending the tab on the switch)


Brights On:


I have no idea what is causing the condensation I read somewhere that the sunroof drain could be the problem but there is no blockage on top and the drains in the door jams look like they have been cut already.

Here's a few pics:







I appreciate any help or advice you have for me, thanks!
