First of all do you have aftermarket HIDs? If so check where you drilled the hole and second check all your covers. Second if all else fails bake your headlight to open it up and reseal it, done.

I had this problem in both headlights when I installed a HID kit, all I did was silicone the notches I cut in the back housing cover and parked the car in the sun for a few days. Eventually the moisture will dry out so give it some time.

But another question, how bad is it fogged up? Since "fogged up" is subjective to many others.

Did you change your headlight bulb or any mods to the headlight?

There has to be a reason when moisture was able to get into the headlight house. You can try to tighten the headlight bulb to make sure the seal is good.

If the moisture build up is bad, you can throw in a pack of silica (that moisture absorbing thing found in chips , purses , shoes , etc).

It might be from your city lights Niloy. Check the housing coversagain to be sure
