Hi friends... My headlight assemblies on my 2000 GT1 also had condensation in them, but I actually caused it myself in the car wash; too forceful of a water stream, I think.
Anyways, I got rid of that condensation by letting them gradually air-dry themselves. Now, you're gonna laugh here but hey.. it worked for me.
You know that black rubber gasket that goes around the outside of the headlight? Well, that was where the water got in on me.
I took a few pieces of popsicle sticks (aynthing would work) and I lifted that rubber gasket enough to wedge the sticks in there between the headlight and the gasket..... to create a ventilation type thing. When I had a few vents created, I drove my car for a day in order to let as much fresh air to get inside that assembly as possible.
Well, it worked great.....all the condensation dried and evaporated.
So I removed the popsicle sticks; and the rubber gasket molded itself back into its' proper position. I am now more careful with spraying a forceful water stream while at the car wash. Also note.. I don't get water in there from heavy rains, luckily... Only a forceful stream at the car wash. You probably have a different scenario than me, but it is something you could try.
Hope this might help a bit... Hey, you've got nothing to loose by trying..
Also, I was able to find many Grand Am replacement headlights on E-Bay. I didn't order mine yet because I dried out my assemblies, but I will replace mine maybe next year.
Good luck... Take care.

EDIT >>>>> After re-reading my response, I should have mentioned that once my headlights dried out, I didn't have too much fading or corrosion in them at all... They are faded, but I can live with that until next year when I buy new ones.
Yours could be too far gone to try the above fix...
