From a thread about clearing the signals.

*DISCLAIMER* Don't warp the platic housing of the light by trying to pull it apart if it is not hot enough. Make sure to let the head light housing cool down before you try to put it back together.

If you just drill holes and let it dry it will probably fog up.

If water is in your housing it is probably due to the gaskets around the headlight, providing your lens isn;t cracked, I'd lookk there first and go from there. **** I'm drunk

i use a hair dryer on hot high and blow it into the hole, then use some silcone adhesive (black) and run a s bead with my finger where the lense meets the housing.
