Question clearing out headlights

i have been wanting to clear out my headlights but never had the balls to. I dont want to screw up my headlights (fogs up, unaligned, etc) so i was wondering what are the success rates and if its easy to do it.

yeah there was condesation, but i had issues with the headlight assembly and the bulb..
i think one of the tricks is you have to let the headlights seal for a long time

What kind of issues with headlights? I think you have to let them dry overnight before plugging them back into the car.

I had mine cleared for a while now and I have no problems. It looks really good with a different color bulb. I hated that yellow strip on the side. That's why I got the Inspire tails also because that yellow color is nasty.
