Default Water in headlight

Had the car washed a few days ago, and ever since then, my left headlight is misted with moisture.

How can I get rid of it and prevent it from happening again ?

It looks nasty.

Thanks

Thanks Simon.

I have disassembled many lights in the past, its a mission.

What i noticed with Civic lights, is they have pipes at the back that allow air in and out, they had sponge inside the pipes. When these were removed, seemed the lights would mist up quicker.

Im wondering if its the same ?

I need to remove the front bumper soon anyway, so will pull the lights apart and reseal them.

BTW - From personal experience, its alot easier to seperate the lense by soaking it in a very hot bath, that way, you can work on it and the glue/putty stays soft. Also, no risk of melting.
