Um well you just said water got into the headlight lenses. Is anything damaged? You didn't really go into any detail.

Sounds like you need to take the headlight assembly out and drain the water out by taking the lens off.

Check your local auto store, and see if you can get some type of stripping/lining which you can put on the seals so water doesn't get in there if say it was raining or something..
