Take out the bulb and don't put the cap back on the back, then get a hair drier and heat the front of the headlight up a little till all the water has evaporated

take the rubber cap of the back of the headlamp and tape to the front of the headlamp cardbord and put the lights on full beam this will clear the mist quickly. Prior to doing this I would go around the whole headlamp glass and seal with silicon sealant allow it to dry and then do the first thing I have put up. Once the lamp is clear allow to cool down and then replace the rubber cap and that should be it.
