not sure apart from takin them off n sitting them near a radiator. think its summit to do with installing them when its damp/cold

thats what I'd do

if you wanna cure it, open the bonnet, take the lids off the backs of the headlights. turn the ignition on and switch on the lights.

leave for 5 minutes and come back. put lids back on and no more steamy lights!

(with moisture trapped, it heats up and can't escape. it can now)

I got the same problem, was going to put some sachets of that silica gel stuff in that comes in boxes with shoes etc. But might try the above method first

Yes mate. 

My "new" headlight also started doing this recently which royally p1ssed me off! 

Never put two and two together before, but yes I did fit it in on a damp/rainy day!

not a bad idea  might be worth taping a bag or 2 to the inside of the back cover.

As said silica gel works well or you could try this 





end result


Just don't turn it up too high
