Default leaky headlight

i tore my headlights apart to paint them, and when i sealed them back up, the one didn't seal all the way. now i got moisture in it. is there any way to dry that out with out tearing the whole headlight apart again?

if water can get in, it can get out... leave your headlight on for a little bit, the heat should help evaporate it faster. The worst that could happen is that your bulb could go out.

When my lights get mostiure in them, I usually drive around for about an hour with the lights on and it clears them right up. If you dont seal the headlamp, then over time repeated fogging causes the lens to yellow.

Your going to have to end up resealing them anyway if you want that problem to be solved. So you might as well do it the right way.
