Hey, i have water filled up about 1/4 the way in one of my brights and one of the normal headlights is fogged up on the inside...is there anyway to get into these to drain them and anywhere i can get new seals or do i just need alltogether new lights? do i need to take off my front bumper to fix this problem?

I have the same problem. My seals actually deteriorated because my radiator blew and I guess the heat from that made the slicone crappy. So now theres droplets of water in there and one of my high beam bulbs blew and I had to take the glass pieces out. Yes, you will most likely have to remove your front bumper(pain in the ass, I know) to take the lights out. I had to take my bumper off, disconnect the bulb and unscrew the lights from the metal bar crap so that I could rinse the inside with water and then got a blow dryer to dry the inside.

I suggest(which I will do shortly), take off your bumper, unscrew the lights off the bar that you need to re-seal, rinse em out and dry them with a blow dryer or something till they're COMPLETELY dried, and get some silicone and just seal over the edges where the old silicone used to be. Put it all back together and it should work. I bought some black silicone there, hopefully it works.
