Unless you have a vacuum attachment that is slim enough the suction the water out you will have to leave it up to evaporation.

Try to located the primary source of the leakage.
Get some clear silicone sealant and get to work DUN!

No Doubt Dun!

since you need it out asap, open the cap, get something in there that would absorb the condensation, then re-seal.

normally, you just take out your headlight bulb and leave it open during the day. This usually works great (especially on hot days)... BUT since you're in a big hurry, get a vacuum cleaner (the kind with a hose on it) and duck tape a straw to the nozzle. poke it down in the housing and it'll suck that shit out like Monica Lewinsky.

In the past, i have taken the bulbs out. Flushed the inside with rubbing alchol, the set it in the sun for short period of time. But thats if the headlights are out. And it cleans them too ;) other wise, just take bulbs out pull the car in the sun for a day.

pull the headlight, remove the bulb, set it on a sheet of aluminum foil, and put it in the oven for a few minutes...just at 150 degrees or so. (Let it cool completely before taking it back outside.)

Put that sona bitch in the oven... Rip it apart... Clean it... Heat it back up... Seal it. Put it back. PM me if you want more detail...

...dude, all he wants is to get the water out... not retrofit projectors or anything like that.

...dude, all he wants is to get the water out... not retrofit projectors or anything like that.lol, exactly...not much humidity in an oven so you don't have to pull them apart...just heat them enough to evaporate the condensation.

Take out the bulb in the head light and use a blow dryer to blow hot air into the headlight until dry. then leave the bulb out of the socket overnight just to make sure. Worked for me on my halo's after I had to repair the same problem.

Sorry, condensation usually causes a yellow fog that wont go away. An easy way to clean the inside of the head light thoroughly(SP?) is to just open em up.

It hasn't been that long. If its been this way for a long time and gotten yellow yes. But if not no. Opening is not nessiary.
