Headlight fogging up

Every time it rains or is muggy my left headlight fogs up and keeps moisture in there. Whats the best way to prevent/stop this from happening?

drill a hole so it can vent. or re seal it. buy some windshield sealant and put a nice bead all the way around where the plastic headlight case meets the housing. or check for cracks and put some over it.

if under warranty then you can get replaced, no problems, i did last week. could be a break in the seal, and may sound weird, but putting it in the oven for 5 minutes on low heat will heat up the seal and you can press around the edges (did this on a grand prix i had a while ago for DIY clear corners)
