My passenger side headlight seems to have moisture trapped in it. Twice now I've taken out the low beam bulb socket to allow it to "air dry" but after a couple of days the moisture is back again. There's little water droplets hanging off the back side of the clear plastic. I have never removed the headlights or the nose, so I'm not sure whats broken. Any help?

i have depo black housing and they tend to fog in the evening/night but it goes away pretty quick after I turn my lights on.... doesn't bother me.

someone told me to just put one of those silicon bag thing u see in food and etc in the headlight housing and it should go away.

Hmm. Thanks Jaeguyoon, I didn't think about that. You're talking about the desiccant bags, right? The only problem would be trying to get them out later, maybe tie a string to them...

I've got the stock '04-'05 USDM bug eyes in the front. I've never had them out so I have to ask, how is the clear plastic attached to the housing? Is it something that can randomly (IE no car accident) start leaking? TIA

I think those are silica bags. What my friends do is pull off the headlight and just blow dry them in the sun for 15 mins.

i am getting the same problem but i painted the inside of my headlights black. i sealed them three times due to the moisture it drives me insane. its a pain in the ass to put them in the oven and what not. it only really happens at night when i just get a car wash. im thinking of getting some projectors off ebay. good luck man.
