Headlight has water in it

My right Headlight has Condensation/water in it DAMMIT![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Anyone have any good ideas to get rid of the condensation without taking the headlight assembly out?

it would be easier to take the head lamp out to air out the water. use a hair dryer and blow it directly into the bulb holders.....doing it from the car itself would be harder to dry out and a pain to get the hair dryer there too. but take it's the best way to resolve your problem

On a dry day, just pull the parking light bulb out. Then drive around with your high-beams on. The heat from the lamps might get the vapors out.

Yeah, it's a cleared headlight, I guess I'll have to re-seal it.

These are some pretty good suggestions, thanks guys,

I already tried the hair dryer thing with a tube small enough to fit to the socket, it cleared up the headlamp part, but the parking light part still has water in it, I'm gonna try the high beam thing and see if that doesn't work

Thanks again
