You could always open up the head light and dry the wayer out with a towel, there is a diy on how to open up the head light in the diy blacked out headlight.

The ebay headlights arent that great.

wow that sucks, i thought those were sealed really well around the edges. last pair of clear ebay lights i had there was tons of sealant all over the seam. not sure where else the water would come from tho.

Re: water in new headlight...!

ah okay make sure its tight! i noticed my stock plug was loose and barely held in place, so i had to get some extra rubber o-rings and put double on each one so it fits snug. i got em from honda dealer. just get the same one as you have now, but you need to have two rubber rings per socket. then it fits nice and tight.
