Funny....fixes the ones we've done here. The condensation comes in from a
poor seal around the lens area. Without proper ventilation...they build up
condensation in the lamp housing. The updated lamp housings come with a
hole and vent tube already built in to fix this issue.

I wouldn't drill a hole in my headlights personally.
There is obviously condensation getting in from somewhere and putting
another hole in them isn't going to help fix the problem. Take th
headlights off, remove the bulbs, and leave them set inside overnight, or
you can use the hair dryer as Bernd suggested.
Once they are dry inside, run a bead of clear RTV sealant around the seam
where the lens is attached to the reflector. Then check the seals on the
bubs themselves to make sure they aren't cracked or damaged, replace as
necessary. Then put them back on the car.
