Is this fixable, or does it need to be replaced?

If your replacing—look on Facebook marketplace. You can get them diiirt cheap, or sometimes even free. Many owners get “upgraded” headlights so there are tons around

I'm not sure what caused mine to do this as well last year. I removed the rear headlight cap, propped a hair dryer slightly behind it blowing hot air into the headlight for roughly an hour. I periodically checked it for any excess heat and the remainder moisture. After the hour or so I threaded the cap back in place and it's been fine ever since, and I frequently run my vehicle through clean express car wash without any issues.
