Default jdm bumper lenses

so i peeked at my jdm bumper lense(the clear ones with the amber insert) and there is condensation in it...i took them off the car, and i am willing to bet that the condensation happened on monday when my front lip got ripped off and water might have gotten up in the bumper lense, how can i dry the condensation out? i dont want them to end up looking hazy from the inside..im gonna keep them inside for now but please give me some tips

you might have to throw them in the oven to get the sealant nice and hot......remove the lens, dry it out with a paper towel, then reseal it. Probably similar to doing the DIY black housing headlights.

aw man. sorry to hear that. thats not supposed to happen. plastic + heat = warpage.
at least they are easy enough to come by hey?

my stanely headlights are doing condensation thing, and i payed a pretty penny for them things.......i'd be afraid to throw them in the oven.

same thing happened to my JDM Bumper lense. the right side, and some how got water in them and started to get hazed. and i had a hard time finding the JDM bumper lights for the 96-97 accord. so what i did was bought the plain clear ones and added the amber bulb which made it look pretty close to the authentic JDM bumper lense...but thats what i did. heh
