U may want to try simply removing the covers, drying out the units (hair dry and/or put lights on) and then smearing vaseline around the covers before replacing them. It has worked for me and saves having to drill holes.

i had both my headlamps replaced under warranty because they steamed up well bad couldnt see anything at night!

try a little pack of silicone gel if you dont want to drill them honda accords have thios standard in the headlamps as silicone absorbs the moisure and stops them misting

I hope not silicone is waterproof might try silica instead

like the stuff you get in a new box of shoes that little white packet of gel/powder that will work a treat just stick it to the backing plate of the headlamp

I had bad condensation in my headlights, the drivers side literally running water. I drilled holes in the back covers like these guys recommended, and about a week later they are totally dry. shame they're being changed on Thursday under warranty! i dont know if its made any difference but i also changed my road legal "blue" bulbs for some lovely non road legal blue bulbs, they feel much hotter when you touch the lens. maybe its just me! they look wicked when turned off and an amazing white light when on...
