I think you need to take out the lense and add new sealant into it.

Mine's in the left hi beam. It does that every once in a while. Give it a little while and it will dry up.

Why not remove the bulb/holder from the back of the light then blow hot air in ?

Just not with your mouth, right tony?
I agree. Take out the bulb, blow dry it out, and check your seals. |

i've heard drilling a hole in the bottom will do it...not big, but go up into the housing...this lets the water drain out, and also keeps the lens from fogging up and getting any condensation in there...give it a shot, i mean...can't hurt if you've already got water in there!
-John- oh, and if you are gonna blow hot air in there, use a hairdryer or somethin...my bro does that w/ his S10 lights sometimes...but of course, his are easy as hell to get in and out..unlike the celica lights.

There's water in my left high beam. It made my light burn out.

Whatever you guys do, I'd suggest getting the water out before your bulb burns out or blows up. I used to have a cracked lowbeam that let water in, and I think I went through three headlight bulbs in about four months in that lowbeam. One even exploded and I could hear the pop while I was driving. My new headlight assembly(Which I got new from Toyota for something like $175, before everyone was selling theirs.
 ) fixed the problem.
