Sucks-Driver's side headlight fogged up!!
I hope someone can help out with this. I live in CA and once the weather dropped to about 50 degrees overnight and it began to rain, I found out my damn headlight and signal light collect moisture and fog up! It looks like crap and I worry that it'll mess the light up. Now there are spots inside of the headlight from when the water condenses and dries up only to get wet again when the temps drop. 
I don't have the $ to go replace my whole headlight and all of that. I heard it was very expensive. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone?

No, I didn't mess with the lights, but the guy who owned the car before me hit a freakin coyote and busted the signal light on the side which he had replaced. I'll bet that impact has something to do with messing that seal up. I worry it'll mess up the light/ the bulb. It's not under warranty anymore because that ended about 10,000 miles ago. What to do?

If the lenses haven't been tampered with (ie cleared) then maybe a dealer will replace it under warranty. Friend got his replaced on his 6MT CL-S. Like someone said, if you don't, you could blow a HID or even worse, your ballast -- then you're forking out serious $$$ to replace everything.
If you're out of warranty, then this might be your opportunity to clear your corners. Only downside: you gotta take off your bumper, your headlight assembly, special key to take off ballast, 'oven method' to separate housing, etc ... NOT for the faint-hearted.
