You may be able to repair it:
1 remove headlight and all wiring/plastic components;
2 place headlight in an warm oven, probably not more than 200 deg.
3 turn headlight over several times so that warm moist vapor containing that
errant moisture is able to escape through the open holes in the reflector
and the glass
4 if the interior clears up using this process, then place a layer of
plastic film like stonegard over the front of the headlight and allow it to
cool in as dry an area as you can find. One suggestion is place in a
cardboard box in a room which has a/c and sprinkle a thin layer of baking
soda on the bottom of the box and the lamp being careful to get NONE inside
the lamp housing.
This worked for me once when there was no reflector damage and did not work
when I let the reflector get too tarnished.
Usual caveats apply, especially to the heating process.
