Condensation if fog light

I have noticed that one of my front fog lights has a lot of condensation inside - what can I do to sort this or do I need to replace the whole unit?

might be the seal on the bulb, you could also drill a drain hole in the bottom that way any water that gathers will just drain out

try putting grease on the seal, trouble is there will be water in the lamp at the moment so until you get it out it will still steam up

I had this happen also not long ago,
just removed light, brought indoors to dry overnight
Then replace & put silicone around the seal.
Also done the other side that never clouded over as a preventative measure.
