Once upon a time we could put them in the oven... Seal on the back misplaced or missing? I'm not sure if it would be safe to shine a hairdryer in the hole in the back (melting light/wife danger here), Maybe if you can stop it getting worse it can wait 'til the weather warms up.

A little bag of silica gel left in the headlight overnight? Alternatively, taking the headlight out and sticking it on top of the radiator for a while would work.

Funnily enough one of the foglights on mine has done the same following the cold spell, I think it'll be a case of removing the guts and getting a hair dryer on it.

Dried my foggin fog lights out several times
Leaves me a dilema - replace them? don't want to spend money on something I'll never use.
