so i just took the headlight out about midnight last when got home and let it sit over night so it go to room temperature. Then in the morning all the moisture and fog turned into straight water and i just let all the water run out of the holes of the headlight and turn signal hole. Then let it sit in front of a fan for about 3 hours and its all gone.

Headlight Leak

After I got my 08 (used) the passenger headlight was doing this exact thing. I removed it from the car, took the lamps out and let it sit in the sun until the moisture evaporated. Then, I just took some caulk and went all around the outside (where you see the original caulk bead from the factory) and haven't had a problem since.

It's important that the headlight be water tight on the outward facing side and have a vent in the rear to let out excess moisture, the stock headlamps typically have a good system going on but occasionally the seal will leak.
