Just recently found some condensation on the inside of my black masks. Got a bit worse today after washing the car so need to get it sorted.

Is there any easy way I can get rid of it and prevent it coming back in the future?

I had this problem with my fogs. I have some of those gel sachets taped to the inside of the fog covers. Turned on the fogs and within 60 seconds all the condensation was gone and 6 months later it hasn't returned.

You can thank Dave (spitfire) for that one. He got a huge bag from eBay for a few quid. Something like the following - ebay clicky

Top tip

Drill some small holes in the back of the light, it will solve this problem

Yes taped to the inside of the part that you take off to allow you to change a bulb.
