I left my DSLR in the car last night and now there is fog in both lenses that I have. Is there any way to save the lenses, or am I out of luck?

Put in a warm, dry area. Eventually the water will evaporate.
Next time, you need to put the camera in a plastic bag before going from a cold to warm environment. When the gear is in the plastic bag, the moisture will condense on the bag and not on the camera. Leave it in the bag until it has time to come up to the ambient temperature. For now, just let it dry out and it should be fine after a while.
Just sit the camera and lens for around 30 minutes to a couple of hours on a safe dry place on the shelf inside the house. The condensation inside the lens should dissipate by its own in time.
Next time, put the camera in an air tight container before bringing out. Sit it for 30 minutes to acclimatize before bringing out and using.
Merry Christmas!
The condensed moisture will go away once you get the camera into a warmer location for a while.
The condensation should go away in due time, but you can put them in ziplock bags along with a liberal amount of rice. You should be fine.
Cover the glass and put it in a bag of rice or place it in a dry area for a while.
keep it in dry area and then only use, remove battery, don't on it, just remove battery and keep it in dry area for hours
