What can I do about fogged up headlights on my BMW?

The inside of the headlight glass can fog up in cool or humid weather. When driving with the lights switched on, the condensation evaporates after a short time. The headlight glass does not need to be changed. If, despite driving with the headlights switched on, moisture such as water droplets increasingly forms in the light, have the headlights checked.
