Default headlight condensation

i guess i have some sort of small leak that is letting moisture into my right headlight..its making it foggy and you can see the moisture build up...
what is the best way to get to it...do i have to take the bumper off to get to the headlight?...anyone else had this problem?

Go to Rick's Accessories site. He has instructions on how to take the headlights out and take them apart.

I would try taking the high beam bulbs out and letting it dry out if it isn't too bad. Or maybe blow air in with a hairdryer to speed the process.

I would try finding one of those moisture absorbing crystal bags, tie it to a string, then drop it in the light fixture over night.
