keeping all the bulbs tends to be a bit of a fix.

I've had this loads of times, it just comes and goes with the changing temperature of the weather

put all your lights on including main beam and place a cloth over the headlamp, take it off every minute or so to avoid melting the lense, the heat generated from the bulbs is enough to clear it when it is being retained in the headlight by the cloth, it also helps to remove the rubber caps on the back whilst doing it as it gives the vapour a place to go

i went to work and park the car accidentally facing sun shine. when i came back at lunch time, i noticed that condensation was reduced. so before i left the car in the parking, i left it again facing the sun. i also try to remove the 2 round rubber cover at the back of both lamp.(which i never though that was very easy to remove). return at 5pm and ts clear from any water. hopefully it wil not return again. :D
