I'm a dumb ***** who changed a headlight last week (the 7th in a 2yr old car! but that's a different story!) and left the box, spent globe and rear cap of the light cluster sitting on top of the suspension tower...

then drove thru a carwash...

then drove 30km, almost home before i realised.

I had bad mist in mine, but luckily no pooling water.

I'm certain I don't have any cracks in mine and I suppose you probably haven't either so you should be fine just parking it in the sun, take the back cover off and leave it there.

It's taken me 3 days to get rid of 90% of it, and I'm not overly concerned about it cos I'm sure it'll be fine.

I didn't do it on the cooler days, and I've been fortunate not to have much rain so it's pretty much cleared up in 3 sessions within a week of it happening.

I spoke to the service dept at the local toyota dealer and he said Toyota recently released a notice that "most new headlights are made from polycarbonate and prone to water ingress"... basically getting themselves off the hook for similar situations. I was told not to worry cos there's little chance of damage, only cosmetics.

Good luck

Yeah I've started to notice it more and more now too, on all our Corollas <_< trying to polish it up from the outside before realising it's condensation on the inside! Bring on summer so we can leave them in the sun
