Can't really - could be perished seals (unless bulb covers are loose / off / got holes drilled in for HIDs)

Can get rid, like Rich said, either the rubbers the go over where the bulb's go etc, or the outer lense isnt sealed properly.

I had DIY depo's on my old car, with the rubbers cut for HID's and they never got condensation. Just make sure it is all sealed.

The FK headlights I had on my Corsa used to steam up so I took them off and put some clear sealant all the way round them. No misting up after that

just take the rubber bungs off from behind, it will clear out in no time, or if you want to leave them on just cut a few breather holes in them

When unmisted, go glass with bathroom sealant. Job done.
