according to vx docs, if the condensation clears after 20mins with headlights on, then its not a fault

to remove the plastic lens heat it up with a hairdryer a bit at a time & gently prise it free, but as TB says its a known occurance, its also been said to put a silca-gel sachet into the back of the light to absorb the moisture :y

just take the rubber covers of the back of the headlights the next time your driving for 1-2hrs plus at night, the headlights heat up and burns the mosture off, removing the covers lets the mosture escape, then just put the covers back on to re-seal, done this many times in the past on different cars and worked everytime.
