I removed my headlight. Got shot of the excess water that cause the condensation.

Used a bit of workshop paper on the end of a cable tie to removed spots. The used a hair dryer . I then let them air out for a few days inside the house. Airing cupboard would be a good idea if you have one.

I then check all seals etc. On my bugeye the seal become unstuck. So I warmed up the glue and put a tab of new glue in and resealed it. Job done (touch wood).

I'd remove the light, remove all bulbs and place the unit, bulb-holes up, in the airing cupboard or similar warm place. Once the condensation has gone, place into freezer for a day, before refitting.
