Default Water in the headlights, Help!

Hey all,

You guys have given me all good advice and mind you helped me save a few hundred bucks as well.

My left headlight has water in them , not much but you can tell it fogs up a bit so it noticeable.

I know I can take the bulb out of the headlight, but now how can i take the water out? Bolt off the headlight out lay it upside down and hope the water sinks out, Or some sort of vacuum to suck the water out?

Many have told me once the light has fog due to water, its finished! Is that so?

I do want to buy some replacements, but am hoping to hold off until the body is done.

Thoughts anyone?

Maybe try baking it in the oven, pull it apart, dry it real well, then re-seal it...or buy a new one lol.

Try to find a DIY on retro fitting headlamps, it would pretty much be the same process.
