There are several videos on Youtube how to get rid of condensation and moisture in headlights.

What is the easiest way to do it for a Maxima 98?

Thanks

Leave them out in the sun for few days? Can't get easier than that.

Do not drill any holes, that's only going to provide a direct path for more water to get in.

To dry them, remove the bulb and position the car so the sun is on the front end. That will dry them out in a day. If they're still taking on moisture after a drive in the rain, put a small beed of clear caulk around the edge where the lens meets the housing. Best to remove the light assy when you do this.

This is what I recommend as well.

My thoughts too, just in more words. This isn't rocket science people...
