Unhappy Help! Condensation in Headlights! (CLK-W208)

How to get rid of the condensation in the headlights? I washed my car last Friday and yesterday I just realized there is condensation in the passenger side low beam and high beam headlights. There is very little condensation on the low beam lens, but 1/3 of the high beam lens is covered with condensation and moisture and I can see water inside the bottom of the lens. So what is the cure?

I searched "condensation" in this forum and some people said to leave the headlight on for 15mins and the moisture will go away; other suggested putting silicon around to seal off the moisture; while some said there is a vent hole and the water and moisture will go away eventually in about 4-7 days of dry weather. I didn't use my car since the car wash on Friday and and my car is parked in a garage and the temperature is around 5-10C (30's to 40's F) and the humidity is quite high. It seems the condensation and the moisture didn't go away or even decrease. Any suggestions?

You need to remove the headlights and remove the lenses.
Replace the seals inbetween the lenses and the houseing.
