Headlight housing condensation after . . .
Attempted to swap HID bulbs to 8000k. My oh my what a pain in the ***! Theres no room to access the back of these headlight assemeblies even after removing the black reservoir on drivers side. Unless you are tinkerbell, you're not getting in there.
Anyhow, so I was able to crack open the 'back door' (so to speak) of the drivers side to access the bulb and gave up after 35 minutes of knuckle grinding.
So two days later in the cold winter rain I noticed MAJOR condensation inside the housing. I went back in and noticed I didn't snap in the fender side tab.
Its 39*F and rainy here in Ohio. Is there any way I can possibly dry out this condensation before summer time?
Thanks for any advice.

Access to HID's is trough wheel wells. Just take out front liner.
Don't snap back that tab and drive around with your lights on (no rain if possible). Condensation should evaporate.

Thanks mishar, do I need to fully remove the liner or can I get away with pulling it down?

Whoa that's fast, did you have the car on a lift with the wheels off? It's seems some if the screws are deep in towards the center if the car.
