I had this issue once after a dealer car wash. I used a blow dryer to heat up the headlight from the outside while using a vacuum to suck out the heated condensation . I did this at night when it was cooler.
I had to hold my hand over the opening to help get suction.

I bought some large Silica Gel packs from Amazon, and opened the black cap at rear of the lights, and popped a pack in each light, and put the cap back on. After a couple of days the condensation soon cleared up. I am tempted to leave them in if it re-occurs.

Some headlights are not sealed and have vents for ventilation. The LED headlights have this as well as a fan inside the headlight assembly. Moisture builds in there if the headlight is not used. The fan takes care of this problem. Not sure which headlights you have but chances are they are not sealed.
