americanmuscle.com has a howto to reseal the headlights so they dont do it anymore. i would do that then let them air out so it all goes away then you shouldnt have to worry about it anymore. it involves putting them in the oven and getting them really hot then pushing the seals together really tight.

if its just condensation then just remove the bulbs and let them air out if its actually oxidation them u gotta either wet sand/buff it out or easier buy new ones. if u go new make sure to seal them goooood.

ok ill tell you the best way to remove oxidation.....mine were horrible you couldnt see the bulb wjhen you looked in from the front....

1. remove the headlight assembly

2. wetsand the surface with 1000 grit wet paper

3. wetsand using 2000 grit paper

4. do the sanding until you think you removed enough of the fog...it will look foggy when it is dry also

5.use a buffing pad or chesse cloth and put the plast X from meguiars on it the headlights. rub in a swirling motion for about 2 minutes covering the whole headlight....you can repeat this step depending on how much oxidation is on the headlight.

6. use a car wax and coat the headlight 2-3 times and buff it out so it is clear

YOU WILL NOT BELIVE THE RESULTS

how can you get that water or fog crap out of your headlights?
Rear-end a truck above 10mph (j/k, I really don't want you to try my method, although it is guaranteed to work)

At least others here have given you some good advice!
