I'm pretty certain the main cause is the adhesive between the lens and housing has gave up, so the only way to fix it is to have the headlight apart unfortunately.

I also have the same issue, although it only occurs rarely so I don't really bother with it much.

Condensation can be removed by opening the lid and left open while lights are switched on blow cold air in with a hairdryer
I removed my gasket ,gently soak cleaned with a tooth brush in warm soapy water .
I put a thin stripe of silicone into the guide then put the dry gasket back in it. Not having any issues since
