Headlights
Yes I no this topic has been covered hundreds of millions of times, yes my headlights had fogged up, yes i did the whole take them apart and reseal them. It worked for about 2 weeks, then the fog came back, some people say to drill holes in the bottom to let it out but most people say that doesn't work, and i not about to drill holes in my lights if it doesn't work. So has anyone figured out any other ways to get rid of the fog. 
Latly i just leave my light on during the day and it evaporates most of it but my blinker still fogs up.

Let them dry out completely and then reseal them with a bead of silicone on the outside of the joint. This should take care of it. Don't do the drilled holes thing. It only makes it worse. Don't ask me how I know.

Those darn lights
Yeah - I drilled holes in mine and has made little difference except to the pass-side. The driver's side, even with drilled-holes takes ffforeeever to dry out. At $500/clip for a whole assembly, replacing both sides just isn't economically sensible in my opinion, when that cash can be spent to fix a whole host of other issues that will inevitably occur on a 12 yr-old car. But I suspect that if/when I do replace the driver's-side light assembly, the pass-side will look like crap. Any other ideas are appreciated. Thanks for all your posts people. KF
