I don't remember what those things are called, but its the little packets that usually come in shoe boxes that say DO NOT EAT. Those things are to draw out moisture. Also, drive around for a while in the daytime with the high beams on, it'll make the process go by faster. Leave the car facing direct sunlight. Once it's gone, make sure the headlight is sealed up good.

how come everyone's having these condensation problems? I installed my HID's like 8 months ago and NEVER put back the dust covers. Never had one drop of condensation and I live in a VERY foggy and damp area. I've gone through tons car washes and rain storms and nothing.. I don't think dust covers have anything to do with condensation... actually in the users manual in my dad's ES it says condensation is caused by the difference in the temperature between the inside and outside temps and that it was NORMAL at least in the ES. I didn't check my IS manual about headlight condensation.
i live where the temp. is very extreme. In the morning it could be 65 degrees but 107 in the afternoon. I think the condensation happens (and it only happened once to me) becasue of the temp issues. . I too dont have my covers on after my HID install. Who knows, my freinds GMC is brand new and has had to have his headlamp assembly replaced becasue of the same issue and his is sealed.

I got it fixed, but not replaced.
The cause was an unlocked lid that allows you to change bulbs. I just needed to evaporate the moisture under dry conditions, and as soon as the headlight was clear, I locked the lid once more. It hasn't done it again.

Man!! I just discovered this problem today. I changed my park lights to LED 2 weeks ago. The driver side DRL/park light door was not installed correctly. My fault. Will do all the above suggestions to get rid of the moisture. I live in WA state its been raining crazy thats why I did not notice.
