Default water in headlights

I just washed my car and now my left headlight has some water in it. It looks like condensation or something. this is one day later so apparently it didn't go away yet. any ideas on how to get rid of it? It looks terrible.

Did you clear your headlight or are they stock?

You need to work fast. the HID balast is located in what I call a drain location of the headlights. Water and hig voltage is a bad thing and the replacement part is 350.

follow the instructions in the link below to remove the headlights from the car. Then follow the instruction on to remove the ballast from the headlight assy.

Once everything has been removed, you can dry them. Either air dry, oven dry or blow dry.

When you put them back to gather, besure to lube the seals. There is a seal on the ballast and each of the lamp sockect.
