So we had a lil bit of rain. My passenger side hi-beam is 1/2 full of water!!.. rolleyes.gif
Removing bumper is NOT going to happen!!
SO--
Can I drill a small hole for it to empty out then smear silicone over it to seal it, then peel it off if //when it happens again?.. kindasad.gif
I CAN use just the lows but it was great having hi's out on the country roads we drive to & from work making it way easier to see road verman & deer.. smile.gif
Yup I did a search & wish it were only condensation, but I am definitely NOT pulling the bumper cover!! I don't have the time to have it layed up again when I break stuff pulling it off!!!!
!!!ALWAYS HAPPENS TO BE MY LUCK!!!.. mad.gif

It won't work.
Well, it will drain it but there will always still be that little bit of condensation in there, and it may mess up the shrouds within the headlight.

Did this when i had the usuall condensation buildup in my headlight and yea it worked, but since it was in there for so long all the rusty brown was still in there, so I ended up just buying a new headlight.

Ok so maybe drill the hole, drain it, and then run the headlight with a towel over it to evaporate the condensation. Then seal the hole(and the original leak)
