Default Problem With Headlights

Hi, It rained for the first time in i dont know how long, and it poured for vegas. Thing is I just cleared my headlights on Friday, so I kept checking on my lights, and after getting home now i found a bit of condensation, is it just going to dry up and then i can close it, or do i have to open it up again?

BTW, it doesnt look that bad in person, its just on the bottom part.

it will evaporate, so just seal it with some silicon once it does.

if you are in a garage, removing the signal bulb overnight may help the condensation evaporate, but I don't know how the permanant your problem may be. If it persists, like said above, try resealing them.

Thanks jschmid, you've been helping me out a lot lately. I'm gonna wait and hopefully they'll evaporate, then i'm going to seal up the whole headlight again, i just dont want to have to reopen them. Its wierd the other ones fine, and i drove around all day in the rain with them, but when i was coming home at the end, then the headlight got the condensation, i guess it was the big puddles i went through.

Its all gone now, thanks guys. I just ordered some new bulbs for my turn signals and the bottom 168 bulb, so when those come in i think i'll reseal the headlight just to make sure nothing like this happens again.

I put more silcone on around the headlight. Hopefully it stays shut this time.
