You got a leak man. Did you buy cheapy Ebay lights?

You either need to seal the leak, or buy a new headlight. The leak could be tiny so that you can't see it. I suggest you try to seal any crack that could be leaking with silicone. Concentrate on the parts that are actually exposed to the elements (seal between the lens and the housing). Also look to see if its cracked anywhere. If you can't get her to seal up, get a new headlight. Condensation should eventually blow out the lights.

Good luck.

i gotcondesation in one of my indicators the other day. get a hair dryer to get ALL the water and dampness out of it.
check your sockets behind the headlights, if their not in tight or the seal/grommet is worn then water WILL get in through there. thats how i got water in my indicator, socket wasnt in tight.
also, check the little U shaped breather hoses, blow throught them, make sure their not blocked.

epoxy the space between the lense and the housing. On my old car, my corners would take in water everytime I washed my car. After I did that it cured the issue. Those ebay ones are cheap and cheap quality. But there are things you can do to improove there flaws. btw, is that on a B5? I need to see that picture at sun set so, I can see the car and the halo's both at once.
