I've got some fog/moisture on the inside of the glass on both headlights. Does anyone know of a good trick to remove it?

A quick way would be to pull the headlight bulbs and use a hair dryer to dry the moisture. Be careful not to touch the bulb.

This should not be happening and you may want to take it back to your dealer. imho

If its just a little condensation, Put the high beams on for 10 minutes. The heat from the bulbs will dry them out. If there's water filling up the lens, have the leak fixed.

I'm going to bump this very old thread to say that I started having this issue as well. It seems to go away pretty quickly, but having condensation inside my headlights makes me not very pleased. I'm going to keep any eye on it. ::007::

I pulled the access covers to the headlights and turned the lights on for awhile to let the moisture evaporate, then replaced the covers while the lights were still hot. Haven't any moisture in there since then. Make sure you check the o-rings on the covers as well.
