i just got my HIDs installed and later that night it already had moisture in them.
i clamped the HID down in the housing like with the stock bulb, and put the big rubber cap back on(didn't have it on B4). now there is moisture in them. anyone know what i can do? w/o having to take them off. -------------------- Jared Harwell

get a can of compressed air, like the kind to dust off keyboards, and blow it dry.

I have seen fish swimming in headlights.. but that was a custom made tank fitted there.. Your best bet would be to hook it up to a industrial vacuum cleaner like one sold in home depot. Other ways would include flipping it with hole down and let it drain. cause you will never be able to get 100 percent of it out by using a paper towel and what not.

Well sometimes it's a normal thing to have little moisture in the head lamps, I'm guessing you installed the HID kit on a (Foggy, Wet, Raining) or anyday like this?
The best way to fix this problem would be ... 1. Wait for a sunny day, temp around 65 ~ 70 degress or find a spot where sun hits the hottest around your area & Let the head lamp hit that sun light. 2. After the moisture is dry from the hot sun light reinstall the bulb once again & make sure the light bulb is secured tightly as the stock ones did. It happened to my 350z after changing the front parking light on the head lamp as well & that's what I did to get te moisture removed. Best Of Luck

Thats evaporation, you havent fixed it just dried them out, some moisture could have gotten in them w/o them being sealed for however long...
