Water inside my headlights
I noticed today after 1 year of no problems, there is some water inside my healdights between the clear lens and glass on top of it, will this just dry out? is it safe for the healdight?
From a quick look at the instructions for clearing headlights it indicates that there is a cover over the socket/ballast held by Torx screws.

Yes, you really should remove the headlights from the car and remove all the bulbs and ballasts. This till open up the headlight so it can dry out. If you don't, the ballasts are mounted on the bottom, and if the water gets on the connections, you will blow them. They cost 300 each, so do it as soon as you can.
Also from you post, it sounds like the headlights have been cleared, if they have a clear lens over the turn signals, then they have. You will want to remove the silicon from around the clear cover and black backing, and reapply. then when you reinstall the bulbs and ballast, use some grease (for rubber seals) to the seals. That should take care of the problem for good.
good luck

there is a required burn time for any fogging to burn off. I believe the dealers give it 15-30mins. If it does not burn off then there is a leak either the bulb seal or the hot melt that is used between the lens and housing.
I had a cracked headlamp once on another car, and if I noticed water in the assembly, I'd just pop out the light and let the engine heat evaporate the water build up. It was a quick way to dry out the light, just don't turn your lamps on if you leave the light plugged in...

I'm having the same problem too, on my left headlight on the lower corner near the amber diffuser. I have stock headlights with no clear diffusers. i just noticed it this evening, never happened before. sucks, strapped for cash and not much money to spend as of right now, should i go to Honda dealership and see if they can fix it or just try to do it myself. no tools as of right now, just moved and left everything back at parents house. any suggestions would be appreciated.
