Washed car today and just noticed this. Is it likely to go away, or does it need to be sorted?

It usually goes away. But you have to seal them pretty soon if it happens again.
check the rear caps first. Where the bulb nests. Maybe they need to be pushed a bit.
And sometimes when the weather is cold and you jetwash with hot water, this can happen also.

Blow warm air in from the rear to dry it out do not use heat on the front of the lens it will scorch the inner surface once dry clean the rear cover and it's seal, I cleaned it with gummipfledge rubber conditioner then reseated the inspection panel. so far no condensation has reappeared
