Default so after no luck on headlight

mine crapped out and got some condensation in it. Dont know how because i have never taken it off or anything.

I want to end up replacing it but cannot find a right one thats an HID

so my next option is how do I seal it or get the condensation out? Or what would be a good place to go to get that done?

I want to say the oven method, (heat up, pull apart, clean, reseal really good, re heat again to melt silicone) but don't quote me on that.

Never tried that but...

Sealing the condensation out is sealing the condensation in. Unlike a sealed beam headlamp, the 350Z headlamp was never designed to be sealed closed.
