In previous cars i've always had success with using a small nail and tapping a few holes into the bottom of the light case. I mean very small nail... I have done this in front and rear lights on 3 different cars and a couple of friend's cars.

Or u can wait till they dry out and reseal them...

did this little trick on two cars and it worked. Get some of those dry packs like you find in new shoes or beef jerky, the ones that say do not eat. I took fishing line and tied to them so I could get them out later with ease, use a little tape to secure. Use a opening like a bulb and just toss the packet in the bottom of the light leaving the fishing line out and put bulb back in. Those packets are made to keep moisture out, if you have a lot of moisture you might have to change them out after a couple weeks.

Haha thats a good idea! I never would have thought to use the Do not eat packets HAHAHA which are Silica I believe? I'll have to do this if mine start leaking moisture.

There's a few DIY threads on here that show you how to take the headlights apart and clean them out.

Do it right and do it right the first time. If there's condensation inside, then that means there's a problem with the seal. Reseal it, just follow the DIY OLT did from way back. I did it, and never had to deal with this again.

for the love of your maker, do not take a hair dryer or heat gun to the bulb housing area. You will melt the plastic and have to buy a new headlight.

Don't ask me how I know lol
