My high beams have some condensation in them.... its driving me absolutely nuts. Anybody have any suggestions on what to do to get it out or what is causing this? It rained here for about two months straight... does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks in advance! Jen |

Here's what I did before I eventually had to replace my high beam...
Take a shop vac (or a regular vaccuum, but it WILL get ruined). Duct tape a good length of plastic tubing (about .25" in diameter and about a foot long - you can get it at any hardware store) to the end of the vac hose to make a seal. Take out your bulb, stick the tubing into the headlight and turn on the vaccuum. If the tubing you get is firm enough you can run it all around the inside of the light and up against the inner part of the lense where the condensation builds up; yet it needs to be a little flexible too. Problem solved, no bumper removal. PS - I ruined my moms vaccuum doing this, it was a regular vac and I sucked a ton of water with it. Use a wet/dry shop vac
