headlight condensation

I have some bad condensation in the inside of my passenger headlight. I was told to drill a hole to get it out, but i dont really want to do this. Is there any other way??

Remove your headlight bulbs and let it sit for awhile on a sunny day, the condensation will evaporate out. If a sunny day is not available you can evaporate the condensation out yourself with some hairdryer blasts.

If it keeps coming back then you have bad seals on your headlights.

if u got condensation, means u got a leak in the light, a hole somewhere. if u want to try, u can take the light out, and slowly dip it head first in some water and see if water is goin in. if u dont get any water til you get close an open point such as the hold for the light buld, then either theres a lil hold somewhere, else, or the seals are bad.
