Condensation inside JDM front headlight.
I got some condensation inside my JDM headlight and dont know how to get it out. Obviously there has to be some way water is getting inside the headlight? How do i get the condensation out of it? Ill taking headlight out to see if i can see any crackes or a way water is getting in in the meantime.

A heat gun is a temporary fix, but you'll need to reseal it to fix the problem permanently. Use caution when using a heat gun not to melt the lens. Make sure you give the lens a break not to get too hot and you should be fine. Obviously you'll know if its working if the condensation slowlybegins disappearing.
Edit: I have used this method before and it works, i am not just throwing the idea out there.

a blowdryer works pretty well also, cause it doesn't get too hot but hot enough to evaporate the condensation

I have never used a hairdryer, but would imagine it takes significantly longer to do this way. Let us know though as i imagine you will probably try the hairdryer first if you don't already have a heatgun.
