Moisture inside the headlight?
The inside of my driver's side headlight has a lot of moisture on the inner lens. I'm not sure why...maybe a bad seal?
Is there anyway to get it out without taking the light out? I have a show tonight and it looks HORRIBLE!
Thanks

The only thing I can suggest for removing the condensation by tonight is to remove the back cover and let it air dry.
Ultimately, you will need to remove the light and seperate the lens from the mounting frame. Clean off all of the old adhesive/sealant and then get yourself some clear RTV and reapply around the lens and frame. Use some spring clamps to hold the lens onto the frame for about 24 hours then reinstall onto the headlight housing.
There are also 2 gaskets per headlight that you can replace as well. One is located on the back access cover. The second is between the headlight housing and lens frame.
