Default 08 GT - Moisture in the headlight housing - what gives?

Hi guys.

Not sure how it got there but been about 4 weeks now and it is not evaporating. Wondering if there is a fix.

Happened to mine. Take your headlights out, let them sit in the sun ir somewhere hot so the water can evaporate, then apply a water sealant around the entire headlight. AM has an instructional guide on how to do it, however I suggest staying away from the oven method because my headlight nearly melted and I was only at 200 degrees

Another thing that worked for me is to put a hair dryer on low(so u don't melt anything) and put it in the hole for the bulb. I did that with a combo of sunlight and that and it worked just fine. Don't forget the sealant!
