Just got a 98 1/2 SVT from a local dealership. The car is simply beautiful, although the outside has a few paint defects, the inside could pass for never been sat in.

The one problem that has been bothering me is a pretty big load of condensation in the headlamps. The person who owned the car before me put those cheesy fake high-intensity blue-tint no-vision headlights in. I'm going to swap them out for something a little more practical, however before I go sticking money on new bulbs, I'd like to clear out this headlight problem. I've checked for cracks, which I'm pretty sure it isn't due to the fact that both are condensated.

Anyone ever see this before and/or know how to rid of it?

Check the 2 small tubes on the back of the light. Make sure thier not clogged.

The best way to dry it out is removed the bulbs and the blow low pressure air in the light assembly to dry it out.

The moisture could come from the smallest of cracks, you might want to consider re-sealing the entire assembly.

Aha! The tubes were a bit clogged, and the goofball didn't put the headlights in right. No wonder I couldn't see anything!

Well they're starting to clear up, we'll see in a few days...
