Default Headlight Lense Inner Condensation

My "new" 2006 roadster has condensation inside the headlight lenses that tends to get worse in cool, wet weather. It builds up a "moisture film" on the inside of the lense that not only looks tacky, but can affect the headlight intensity. How does one remove the outer lense to clean the inside of them, and what could be causing the ingestion of moisture in the first place?

you don't remove the outer lense. search for it with the search tool here it really works.

Use a hair dryer to dehydrate the moisture be removing one of the black caps at the back of the light. Get the TSB condensation headlight caps to replace the OEM vents (2 per headlight) if that doesn't fix it then you are getting water in from somewhere else possibly a crack.
