im sure others may have other ways, but one way you could do it is try to put a hair dryer to the part of the lens that is fogging up. if that does not work, take your HID bulb out and do it. if that does not work, take your headlight out and point the back of the headlight up, then apply the dryer to the lens. this will allow the moister to escape the headlight when you heat it up. if you do not have a hair dryer, a heat gun or hot sunny day will work also.

be careful and good luck buddy!!!

good deal. im glad to hear buddy. good luck tonight!!

if it continues, try to see where most of it comes from by finding the "possible" puddle in the headlight, or even a haze of condensation in a certain area. then look on the outside of that spot for missing sealant between the lens and the housing, or perhaps even missing a plug/tube/cap for the breathing hole in that area.

keep us updated and lets try to make sure this doesnt occur again.
