Default Condensation in Da6 headlights

Since the weather is changing dramaticly and its the most humid i can ever remember. Damn global warming. Im starting to notice that my drivers side headlight is getting foggy. Most wouldnt notice is but i stare at my lights every day.I found out that a friend didnt lock the gasket on that corner light on that headlight.

I do see alot of 1 pieces with one foggy headlight. I love my headlights and i dont want it happing to it.

I was just wondering how i can get it out. Do i have to stick it in the oven lol? I dont want it to do any permanent damage.

well if it's condensation build up in your headlights, yeah you can stick them in the oven at around 225 degrees and about 10~15 minutes. and they should pry open. then wipe everything up and reseal them with some silicone.

but if it's the haze that's from the front of the headlight, and you get wetsand and buff that out. goodluck with it

uhhh... i guess anyway you can get the inside dry. but you'll still have to reseal it so water doesn't get in there
