concern:cleared headlights
i cleared my headlamps like about 3 months ago and havent had any moisture what so ever in them until today i noticed small amount of moisture on the botttom where the main lamp is and in corners of other 2 lamps its not dripping or anything inside just condensation for now. i know its prolly becuase its been raining for the past week or so. but will the moisture go away or is there any way i can get rid of it without taking the bumper and headlights out and apart again. (i.e. can i just heat em up with hair dryer or something like that?) anyways thanx for taking your time to read my post.reply with your best way to defog the headlamps.

the head light itself gets pretty hot, but if you leave the headlight in there, the bulb i mean, the moister can't escape. that's a tough one. the only sure-fire way i can think of would be to remove the head light assembely and pop it in the oven for a bit, that way the moisture can and will escape the headlight
a hair drier might work, but i think it would take forever to do.

umm, i would definately take the bumper off, and take the headlights off the car and reseal them because i had just a little bit of moisture comming into the headlights and i was blowing my PIAAS left and right, once i resealed them i didnt kill any of my Piaas and they work fine. SO i suggest you do that.
One little thought. Make sure those little rubber booties are on the back of the headlights where the bulbs plug in. Those have to be tight and sealed to keep moisture from entering from behind the bulbs.
