I unfortunately learned the hard way to watch where the water goes when cleaning the engine...there's a vent to those headlights and water can get in there...the headlights will fog until the headlights are dried out.
One way to dry out the headlight assembly is to remove the back of the assembly to access the bulb, disconnect the high voltage connector, remove the bulb, then put in a tube or hose (I've used my ski boot dryer) and run it for a half hour perhaps hooked up to a hair dryer or shop vac. Reinstall the bulb/connector/back and if it fogs up again you've got a bad seal or a cracked glass. Cracked glass can be sealed temporarily with cyanoacrylic crazy glue.
