headlaight condensation

is there a home cure for headlight condensation, or do I have to live with this or buy a new one? it's on the passenger side and it works ok (but not bright). Has the water droplets inside the lens cover. 1999 tl. Thanks any and all. Greg.

Well my 02 had condensation in the drivers side light, so I made that a good excuse to pull them apart and clear them. The drivers side does not have a problem, but when I take my car through a car wash, the passengers side lamp gets all steamed up. LOL... Damn it all. I just pull out the highbeam bulb and put a hair dryer to it for a few minutes to dry it out, and then its fine until I go back through the car wash again. If the droplets are severe, take the high beam bulb out to dry it out otherwise water could get into your ballast and fry it. Mucho Money for that by the way.

Fix it before your buying a new set of HID's too. you can either try to figure out where the moisture is getting in or buy a new/used headlight
