thanks to the so cal rain it happened to my R headlights on my em1 so what I did was I took the lights off of the car and took my air compressor to them and blew all of the water beads dry, and then to make sure no moisture formed in the headlight I threw a silica gel pack in the headlight and I've been too lazy to remove it.


So no more condensation and no more residue in my headlight... WOOT!!!

Or you can always pop them out, clean, re-seal them.
