Zip,
Remove the rear cap, remove the bulb and use a hair dryer or similar to dry out. there are 2 rubber tubes either side at the rear of the housing. They are supposed to vent the body. Make sure they are not blocked.

Foggy fogs are a pretty common thing on most cars... Interestingly enough, they don't get deemed faulty by the manufacturers unless they won't clear up in a certain amount of time (5-10 mins). Wife has one on her car and Vauxhall wouldn't swap it out, garage claimed that's pretty standard. Gits.
