Foggy Headlight

The worst lookign thing in the world is a nice car tip tiop shape, only to see that one of the healights is full of condensation

I took the back off my light earlyer today to find half a cup full of water pour out the back of it, after leaving it open for a bit fresh air to dry its self i replaced everything and went out for a drive.

One slight problem... although my light is much clearer than before i still have consensation in it.

Any ideas on how to remove the condensation and prevent it from happenign again?

Cheers

I'd advise putting the lights on as well
As they alone generate some heat to help clear it

U'll find a main spot where lights will clear but hairdrier will have todo around the rest
