Does anyone have any pics of the headlight vents on the 4G TL? I've been having a hell of a time trying to get the condensation out of my headlight (passenger side). Tried vacuuming it out and also blowing out with a blow dryer. The blow dryer was gradually changed from hot to warm to cool (air temp) and I finally got it all out but now it's come back, not more than a couple hours later. Doing some research led me to the fact that there are vents in the headlights but I couldn't figure out where they might be. May have to take the assemblies out completely and have a look. Also, one bulb wasn't working and when I looked at the igniter it seemed that there was rust on it so I'm guessing it's the problem, not the bulb.
Did you take off the bulb when blow drying it to give the water a place to evaporate out of ? The vents should be on the back side of the headlight assembly.

I took off the low and high beams to get better air circulation. It did work but I'm guessing that the vents may be clogged with something - dirt, spiderwebs, etc...
I guess I'll have to try taking off the bumper off and also the headlight assemblies to see if there's anything there. Was planning on doing a headlight restoration anyway so I guess I'll try then. Was hoping to not have to take this step.
I was just hoping that someone had an idea of what the vents looked like and where they were located (exactly).
Make sure the seals on the bulbs are good, I had a bad turn signal that caused fogging. You can also stick silica packs in the headlight to absorb moisture.
