Awesome, I'll have to let my friend know about this method because he was about to order a new headlight today but I convinced him to wait to see if there was a fix because I knew his light was only condensation, not the fogging over like happens on the outside of the housing.

I might have to try it out on my brothers Saturn headlight, and then my friends too.

Thanks guys, especially for the lazy copy and paste

the idea is not to reseal the holes you drill. The point it to allow air to circulate. now it does not fog up and condensation does not build up in it.

I heard about both methods including the oven and drilling the holes. I heard a couple of people trying out the holes and so I tried it on my car and my moms. My headlight had been fogged for about 3 weeks, which made my halo stop working…. I drilled the hole and the water unfogged but the halos still don’t work 
