Yes you can remove the headlights and blow dry the headlight assembly, BUT doing this doesn't keep the condensation from coming back.  These vehicles had automatic on lights which are not good because they are on all the time and what that does is make the headlight assembly so hot that the asselmbly starts to get hair line cracks in them creating condensation.  There is no complete fix you would have to replace it with a new headlight and then remove the automatic on relay located under the hood and you will never have this problem again.  I have a passenger side headlight for sale if interested for $100 [email protected]
