remove the entire assembly from the car, dry it out then around the housing you'll see where it was put together, there will be a seam, take some RTV (clear) and go around the entire assembly. Let it cure and dry for 24 hours then reinstall. It should fix the condensation in the headlight.

Either that or I have seen on Ebay, replacements, either actual glass headlights- $100 or projectors-$150.

well, i have my own .02 for this one. when i got my new headlights, diamond clears, i got condensation after a couple weeks or so. what i did, was waited til the hottest day of the year (or so) and took the bulbs out in the morning, then around 3 p.m. or so, put them back in. this is the best solution if your headlights don't have breather holes in them. somone will probably post with breather holes, ask them.

Ok, I'm not trying to sound ignorant, but wouldn't a blow drier speed up the process? Just a thought. ^^
