I'd try silica gel. There are also youtube videos that show hairdryer application in more severe cases.

Or you might be able to run the lights until they get hot enough to dry themselves. But that only works in dry weather.

Just leave the car out in the sun and the heat will dry up the condensation easy as that. If you don't want to wait for the sun just take the cap off and use a heat gun or blow dryer and blow air into the headlight it'll it's gone
