How bad is your condensation?

How bad is your condensation?
As you can see from the photo, I have a bit of a condensation issue, so having read the 'stickie' thread on the subject though I had better do something about it.
Using a hairdryer, I removed the condensation, but revealed a lake in the headlight bowl. Using some micro-bore pipe, I removed the water, then set about it with the hairdryer again to remove all moisture
The final photo shows the finished result. I need to provide a more permanent solution by fitting a drain, but will also try silicone grease on the cover.

We've had a lot of rain in the UK over the past few months but that's way beyond condensation. The seal between the shell (item 1) and the lens (item 2) must have failed.
Remove the headlamp and separate the lens from the shell by releasing the clips (arrowed in red). The lip (arrowed in blue) can then be sealed with silicone and the unit reasembled.
Another route for water entry is a loose access cover (item 3).
