Question headlights

Whats the best way to get moisture out of the headlight housings? I have a decent amount of condensation in them, and it seems to be cutting down on the light transmission (plus Im sure the bulbs arent happy being near all that moisture). Thanks

Rich

You may want to get some replacement gaskets for where the bulbs twist in. It would be hard to get a rag in there and dry it. maybe use a blow dryer or something.

I just installed some new bulbs, thats when I saw the condensation. I was thinking of just taking a hair dryer on high to it. Sounds easier than disassembling the whole unit to take it out, and let it dry naturally.

Put a vacuum cleaner hose blowing into them with a drop light outside keeping them warm. Alternately, pour rubbing alcohol (high alcohol %) into them and dump it out. It'll absorb the water, then evaporate.
