Default best fix headlight condensation?

headlight is full of condensation and it doesnt look cracked or broken, perhaps the seal just let go, so what is the best way to fix this? a bodyman said to drill 2 tiny holes and that will circulate air when i drive but i dont really want to that.. how easy is it to seperate the lens and reseal.. thanks

I have the same problem. I'm just going to replace the whole light. The water fried my ballast too, not too fond of replacing that.

Its pretty simple to take apart and reseal the headlight assy. followthese directions:
1. preheat oven to 250 degrees farenheit.
2. bake headlight housing assy for 8 min placed on top of a wet piece of cardboard with all wires, balast, and lamps removed.
3. put some gloves on for this one and slowly pry the clear part of the housing apart from the black plastic. be careful of the tabs. to reseal just heat it up again and squeeze it back together.

just a habit of mine whenever i painted a housing i used a syringe with no needle and put a second layer of clear silycone RTV on the outside of the seal to be safe. havent had a single person complain yet.
