No,but if seal is broken they are junk.Time for warranty replacement!
I have read about others with this problem on Harley-Davidson Online Store.

I've had my passing lights fog up once on me. Happened in close proximity to washing the bike. Didn't go for a ride after the wash. Just put it back in the garage and noticed that they didn't look the same as the headlight. Sure enough they had a layer of fog on the inside of the lenses. So far it's only happened one time but I figure if it can happen once it will happen again. I figure they should be a completely sealed housing so I'll be talking to my dealership to see if it's a warranty item. I believe it should be.

No issue here with my year old 2014 Limited. I've been in quite a few REALLY REALLY heavy rain storms and washed the bike a few times. Never any fog on the inside of any of the lights.

Make sure you check your headlights when the bike is warm mine is one of the first bikes sold same with a friend of mine
when the bike warms up the headlight is fogged have gone to dealership but they wont do anything unless they stay fogged or have very visible stain which will probable happen right after warranty runs out.

Wayne.... I too had an early model and the Daymaker aux lights fogged up.. Installed them on my new '15 and recently they worsened, dealership actually warranted them.. The newer version is different, Hmmmm.. Harass the &^%$ out of them to warrant them.
