    I think you have to open them up and bake them. I'm sure there's a write up here someplace.

    To immidetly dry off the condensation you can use a blow dryer. Make sure you warm the plastic and you move frequently to avoid any permanent damage to the housing. Its an old used car dealer trick. It wont fix the problem but help get that headlamps looking good and get your light output back momentarily. Hope it helps
