I don't know if hairdryer would work..it became like waterspot inside the light..I'll take some pics when I have time

Have they ever been pulled apart before?

If not.. bring it to the dealer and have them deal with it. Your headlights should not be getting water inside of them.

Warranty them, you'll get a new headlight.

No way to fix it with out taking it apart.

I had them painted before..so I guess it didn't get seal tight enough..I guess I have to take it apart and wipe it down..
Does anyone know a good sealant that is to seal the light back up tight? So I don't have to deal w it next time..thanks

Go to autozone and get black silicone sealant. You can apply it to the seam like if you were caulking a bathroom tile. I have had people come to me for these same problems and 100% of the time thats the easiest fix.
