Always add a bead of clear silcone all the way around the edges of aftermarket headlights,tails,fogs etc.. they are never sealed good from the factory. My clear fogs from MT i used some clear silicone on them and they havent leaked since x-mas. Trust me always do this.

Damn that sucks...but you should have done what spike said in the first place. However it is a very easy fix!
1. Remove your headlights and let them air dry. Leave them out in the sun for an hr or two.

2. The after they are dry and the foggyness (spelling..) is gone do what spike said and re-install...
