Default Moisture in the headlights

Does anyone know how to get the moisture out of the headlights? It's making my car look like ****.

trash them and buy new ones? The 01+ headlights would make your car look 5 years newer anyways. You can go through a sand and waxing process but in a few months it will be back to the nasty way it is now.

They don't look bad its just that the driver's side headlight is fogged up from the inside with moisture. I'm prolly gonna get the clear corner 01-04s.

ohh that happened to me when i didnt push the headlight bulb in all the way and it didnt seal. take the headlight out and put the back side of it up to a fan overnight and it will clear the fog out.

Thanks. I'm gonna try that tonight and see what happens. I took it out the other day and a lot of water came out of it. I was suprised cause both light bulbs are sealed in pretty good.

there is another way to do it if your looking for the cost efficiency. pry the light apart where it seals from one piece to another. put the lights in your oven for about 5min. on 300degrees. but some plastic sealant and put em back together. good as new.
