But that looks like a lot of water. Any warranty left on your car?

headlight help
I know that getting condensation in the healight housing is normal and that it will drain out in a day or two. BUT, I have a lot of water in mine and it has been there for about a week. 
I took the flap infront of the front tire off and discommected the middle light but I could not figure out how to totally remove it or otherwise gain access to the front so I could air it out (maybe compressed air)
Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like you need to do something like that to dry it out. That is a lot of condensation. Is it TX? Do you have something else going on with the sealed unit? Not sure if there is going to be fogging after you get it dry.

I don't know that you want to use a big blast of air like from a compressor. Maybe lower pressure. I would ask someone for advice on here who seems to do this for a living, RLSebring, I think is his handle. I'll look it up to confirm. I know he's been pulling apart and putting these back together for quite some time.
Yep, that's him.

Friend of mine had that and nothing would clear up the issue, even running the lights. The dealer changed it out under warranty. The amount you have, for the length of time you have it is not normal. Talk to the dealer about warranty replacement. OBTW, IIRC, we found out the vents are on the inside edge, toward the hood. Hard to get to an apparently and easily clogged.

Is that only on one side and does it always happen. I get a little condensation in both lights but never like that. That looks like it could actually drip water. I would have that checked at the dealer. Good Luck and Happy New Year
