I seem to have some moisture in my passenger side headlight housing. What is the best way to go about drying this out? How does moisture get inside of the headlight assembly, and can I seal it up to prevent this from happening in the future?

Thanks.

Do you have OEM (stock) or aftermarket lights? Aftermarket offerings tend to be leakers (been there, done that). I've never really had an issue when I've used OEM lights.
 






I KNOW I KNOW!!!!!! I have a PERFECT SOLUTION!! Take the headlight out and put it in the microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes!!!!!!! LOL!
 






But there is one drawback to putting it in the microwave, it causes a brownish tint to it.... If you dont want this then put it in the dryer for no more than 20 minutes, BE SURE not to put it on tumble dry as this may damage the light!! LMAO
 






Just leave it in the sun, then seal it with silicone afterwards.
