Headlight question

i was looking at my headlights today and i noticed that qhite a bit of condensation is built up in the drivers side headlight. Is that normal? Is it possible to take the headlight apart to dry it out?

i dont know that i would say its normal, i have never had a problem but i guess it probably happens to some people. yes u can take it apart. to take it appart u have to remove it from the car, take the clips off, heat the oven to about 250, TURN OFF oven, then place them in for about 10 min and u should be able to pry them appart. i think thats the temp and time i used when i did my retrofit.

u really dont need to open it up.. jsut make shure the lettle breather type holes on teh outer part of the headlight and the inner part arnt clogged.. just stick lik ea paperclip in there to make shure its open then just keep ur headlights on while driving even during daytime for a while.... then ull be fine..
