I told you the other day, try the way I did it...

Take the cap off the headlight every time you park up. It also helps if you can take all the bulb holders out for a few hours so that air can circulate out of the units. The water inside evaporates pretty quickly because it's warmer inside the headlight, and the vapour escapes with the circulated air.
I had exactly the same thing happen soon after I got the car and this sorted it.

I cant remember you saying all this.
SO take the rubber caps off and it will go eventually? or take the holders out and it will go quicker.

How about just leaving the rubber caps off for a few days?

You could just leave the rubber caps off for a few days but you'll risk getting s**t in there (a moth in my case). I'd just take them off when the car's stood still. Take the bulb holders off too to get as much air circulating through there as possible.
 
Ah I thought you had water marks John.

In that case, take the unit off the car, take off the rubber seal, then use a hair dryer to heat the offending areas where water has accumulated. This will evaporate it and then use a fan to move the air (now moist air) around and out of the rear holes.

Done it many a time.
