You could set them in the oven (w/o the bulb) at a low temperature until it all evaporates. You could put alot of dessicant in the headlights to suck up all the moisture. To prevent it from happening again, inspect headlight housing for cracks in sealant or housing, and make sure there is no way for air to come in.
 






my gf 93 taurus has water on ur headlights as well. I forgot what the product was called and they had it at walmart but cant think of the name on top of my head right now.

Don't know if there is anyway to stop it.

I have heard that you can drill some small holes in the lower edge of the headlight Assembly allowing the water to drain and allowing some air inside to reduce the fogging.

I am not sure if it works but it sound like it might.

Now you have "fog" lights!

My right one has fog in it as well. My left one did, but I just took the bulb out, leaving it open, and let it sit one hot day. Worked fine. However, I did the same thing with my right one and it didn't work. I am wanting to get some aftermarket headlights so I'm not too worried about it.

Let us know how you get it fixed!
