Default headlight condensation

Hey new to the forum. I have the front right side low and high beams that is starting to develop condensation. I check the rubber tube vent and it appears to not be clogged. Any suggestions? Thanks

use a 1/16" drill bit and drill a couple holes on the bottom, near the rear of the plastic housings. this will solve your problem, and from experience, won't cause any more problems.

take out the headlight assembly and inspect for cracks in the housing. Also, check the seals around the lens for any breaches. When I had this problem, I put the headlight assembly under a heatlamp to evaporate all the water in there. But it came back (i have a fairly large crack in the top that keeps undoing my sealant), so i'm just going to drill.

you can try and reseal all around the outside of the headlight assembly. that is what i was goin to do to mine, but i had a minivan come through my front end so i just had the whole front end replaced.
