how much water? if it's just a little moisture then just turn on your lights and the heat will get rid of the moisture...if it's a lot of water then you have bigger worries than just getting it out. your housing might be cracked....

Open up your headlights, clean it up, then reseal with some silicone sealant. I've heard of people drilling small drainage holes, but I don't know about that. If you want a quick fix, just leave your headlights on for a while or you could use a hairdryer.

you could take the headlights out and pour some rubbing alcohol in them and shake them around to get as much water out as possible. the alcohol diplaces water and cleans at the same time....silicone can help seal up leaks

Take the headlight out and blow the water out with an air gun, then leave it face down in the sun for a few hours. My integra's passenger headlight had that problem, then I wrecked, got a new headlight and the problem went away.
