clean it and re-seal it, or if all else fails; make a tiny hole in the bottom of your headlight.

this is the advice i got. get the headlights light, and blow dry the inside until the condensation disappears. Or just leave it out in the sun on a hot day. After it disappears, seal it good.
However, being the lazy ass i am, i didn't have time to do it and it went away on it's own. Im guessing cause it's so damn hot here in CA.

Heat the Oven up to 450 then turn it off. stick the headlight in there for 15 min. let the headlight sit till it cools back down. if theres still condensation in there, repeat the step as many times as necessary.

I had the same problem, i took all the time to crack them open paint them then reseal. fixed the problem till the first time i went through an automatic car wash. what happens is there are breather nozzles underneath the headlight and the car wash sprayers force water into them and up into the light. havent fixed that problem yet. not sure why the passenger side headlight is the only one suseptible. problem end up plugging them.

YES it will! Do not put them in the oven! I ruined one of mine that way. It warped, and melted.

Why do that when all you ahve to do is drill a 2 millimeter hole into the housing where the peices form the ridge of the turn signal and let nature kill the wetness.
