What is the best way to remove the condensation in my headlights and fog lights?

Remove them and sit them in the sun for a couple of hours

They will need to be resealed to stop it from happening.

Had the same problem with a 97 Windstar. Mechanic told me to use a tiny drill bit and drill a couple of holes in the lowest part in the bottom of the lens. Actually worked good, but I think we're talking about different types of bulbs in the newer Fords, so I'm not really suggesting this, just mentioning it.

I've actually heard doing that as well, I'm not sure if it will work or not.

in my car, sometimes they got condensation, i took the light assembly out, and used a hair dryer in an opening where the light plugs in. dried it up in a couple mins, then i used clear silicone and went around the whole housing where it seals, and re sealed the whole thing

Try a head light restoration kit first if you can get any where or a cleaning and polish spray. then remove the head lights and run a thin bead of clear silicone around the lens and the bucket meat this will keep the inside clean and dry.
