Is there a way to remove condensation from behind the headlight lens in the 87-93 mustangs? My driver side lens has water behind the lens, which effects how well it works. There's a small hole on top where water seeps in.
Is the lens a sealed unit or is there a way to remove them and get the condensation out.
I just need to know if I need to buy new headlights or not.

you will need new headlights its a supposed to be nice and sealed from where the bulb is. I drilled a small hole on the bottom to let it seep out if it ever got full.

Although drilling a hole allows it to seep out over time, it also allows it in much easier since it is now less sealed. You're best bet is to replace them.

All you have to do is: 1) Remove the headlight 2) Blow dry the water out 3) Seal the entire perimter of the hedlight with good silicone (clear) 4) Re-install, GOOD AS NEW!!!

This is what I did 5 years ago and never had another problem.
