Headlight condensation

RE: Headlight condensation
Hey guys
I had the same problem, passenger side. I unscrewed the four screws, took off all of the sealed covers (the things in the back to access each lightbulb)... I noticed one of the seals was wet, I turned the headlight upside down and let the water drain out. I heated up my oven to 170F (the lowest it would go). I sat a Pyrex bowl rightside up and placed the headlight assembly back end up on top of the Pyrex. I had all of the access covers off, facing up so that the remaining water could evaporate. After about 30 minutes, no more water or condensation. I sealed everything back up and re-installed.... problem fixed.
FYI... make sure the access covers are nice and tight before re-installing.

They repalced the entire unit. No questions, no hassles.
I'll pull the service report from my files this weekend and post their description and solution for you.

RE: Headlight condensation
I finally took the whole headlight assembly out and put it in the oven 250 degrees for 3 minutes on a wet piece of cardboard (try at your own risk!), then let the unit sit in my living room overnight to rid the unit of any condensation. I went to wal-mart and bought a tube of automotive silicone and resealed around where the lens meets the housing unit. I'm hoping this works, so far it has perfectly!
