Default condensation in headlight

Both of my headlights have condensation in them, covering most of the headlight, is there anything that can be done to prevent this or clean them?

You can remove your lights and place them indoors for a while with all the bulbs removed.
You can speed this process up by blowing a warm hair dryer through the bulb holes.

The only way to prevent the moisture from returning after you get rid of it is to seal up
any and all leaks they may have.

Whether the leak is in the lens or in the housing, a clear 2-part plastic epoxy works great for this.

Are your lights OEM or aftermarket?

warm air from hair dryer, like mentioned, and check for cracks or separation between housing and lens. make sure your 2 black covers on back still have the rubber o ring in them, and that your turn signal still has a rubber o ring around it. if any are missing, replace, cheap and easy fix then.
