    I have sever condensation in both headlights on my 2008 Tacoma. Is there a way to get it out?

    Havnt tried that yet. Resealing them sounds like a good idea but how do I get the water out?

    you could remove them, remove bulbs and try draining water through the bulb holes, or bake them in over for a little while at low temp. then tie some of those silica gel packets to some string and drop into light overnight to absorb more water. then reseal and re install. or.. get ready for a self plug here...buy the headlights I have for sale here which do not leak at all haha

    Rims and tires , exhaust , stereo , Bhlm ,Changed carpet to black from grey. toytec ultimate lift kit. Allpro front bumper and light bar. In process of blacking out interior. Otrattw switches, black vinyl armrest mod, clazzio leather seat covers with heaters, flowmaster dual exhaust, hornblasters train horns,
    I had same thing. Took them out, poured out water and dried them with a blow drier. Must have over heated one because something changed with light pattern after that. Ended up replacing both.
