Default Condensation in the headlamps

Is it possible to get to the inside of the plastic headlamp covers ? My offside front has had severe condensation in it for several weeks now and is refusing to clear, this despite being kept in a garage.

It is starting to annoy me and seems a bit trivial to make a special trip to the dealer for.

Any clever ideas on how to clear it would be much appreciated.

The only way i would do it is by taking the filiment out and use a hairdryer on it. U have to remove the wheel arch liner to expose the back of the headlamp (see manual).

I had this in a Ford Focus a while back. It would clear only if I had the lights on for a long time. I took it to the dealer and had it replaced under warranty. BTW it's worth phoning in advance, so they can get the part, and check the headlamp aligment equimpent isn't busy with MOT work.
