Headlamp condensation my headlamp covers are very damp inside. is there a way to dry them?

Google will help you with that - might even get you a utube video to help.

head lamps that have removable lenses usually have a series of clips around the headlamp edge , you may have to remove lamp to see if this is the case with your vehicle , another way to dry out the interior is to remove the lamp and dry the inside with a hair drier through the bulb fitting hole, not to high a heat slow but steady, hope this helps

you are talking aftermarket headligth covers? , the head lite itself cant not be taken appart, your best bet is to drill a small hole in the lower part ofthe headlight so moisture can be release, this will help but in the long run you'll need to replace it

Take the lamp out and let the moisture dry up either blow dryer or air dry.

No Dear No Other Way. IF You Thinking To buy A Car Then Dont Think To Go For A New Lens Just Buy That.Thanks

Condensation is deemed to happen if ambient temperature is lower than inside the headlamp and humidity inside of headlight is too high.
From a headlight design perspective, you cannot lower ambient temperature. Not much can be done with temp inside headlight either. However, humidity levels on the inside can be reduced. Most designs usually have 2 or 3 air vents to keep humidity below condensation threshold levels.
This might sound complicated, but the phenonomen is exactly the same as windows in a winter home and humdity levels inside. Too much showering, and bathroom window fogs up. Venting will reduce condensation.

You might wonder why headlamps are not designed to be 100% air tight, so that no humidity enters? Well, that would be in an ideal world with no heat losses in bulbs. As the headlights goes through continous warm-cold-warm-cold cycles as you turn light on and off, the air and plastic will expand and retract. This creates pressure changes, which will move a slight amount of air in and out. So instead of forcing the air to be inside, air is moved through controllable passages, so that minimum of road dirt will enter.

If condensation disappears within a week. Moisture can have been sucked up in high pressure wash. This should normally dissapate within a week by itself.

If condensation amount stays constant, then there is crack(s) in headlight that lets in water. This can be siliconed, depending where the crack is, or a replacement headlight should be considered.

we use paint restoring compound like t cut makes ya headlights look like new!! jason GTMOTORS
