Default Condensation in Lens?

Is there anyway of removing condensation in the lens of a headlight. I the car had projection headlights on the car for about two months and now it has condensation in the drivers side headlight. I was wondering if there was anyway to remove it without spending $dollars on a new headlight bezzle.?

Seriously will that remove the condensation or will it just seal the leak?

It will seal the leak, then a hair dryer will remove the condensation.

I had condensation in my headlight on my old accord. I never fixed it with silicone but I was able to keep it minimal by not aiming the hose at the headlight when washing it. Then if there was any condensation in it I would unplug the high beam and ride with the lights on or leave the car out in the sun. The condensation would usually clear up in a couple of hours.

once you seal it and evaporate the condensation that is in the light you should not see any further condensation. make sure to use an ample amount of sealant.
