Moisture in the headlights

my rx-8 recently was a victim of a flashflood (its fixed and thats a whole nother story on another thread yada yada)

I now have a ton of moisture inside my headlights, their almost completely fogged up inside

Is it a real pain to open them up to dry em out?

Any fixes here?

Thanks!!

If you keep your headlights on for a while the heat the headlights produce should dry themselves out.

^^ true unless there is a leak that has developed in the headlights seal. I know that the tails are sonically fused but I think the headlights still use a silicone seal.

just keep in mind that once you get water inside them, they will always have a tiny bit of a hazed look to them.
