Headlight condensation

I have a 2009 db9. I just noticed some condensation in both headlights. What should I do?

I had this happen occasionally with my Vantage. I would direct a small space heater toward the headlight and this would resolve the issue. It has not been a problem with my Rapide. If you do a search I seem to remember some fixes for this.

I'm thinking about this at the moment too.
I've read about people drilling small holes in the black plastic housing and putting gore-tex patches over them to let the moisture out but not back in.
I'm still researching if this is going to work before I do it though...
Did you get any further OP?

Hi Guys, the best solution is a venting kit, I have had two Vantages, both with headlight condensation, pleased to say, my current Vantage is crystal clear, all weathers. The venting kit I have is from AM Upgrades, email them and ask for info amupgrades@gmail.com
