Condensation in my headlights!
As you can see from the photos, my headlight’s eyebrow have alot of moisture/condensation/water in it. Is there any way to get the water out of the eyebrow without drilling a hole on it? If you’ve had similar problem, please let me know how you got it fixed.

Not sure if the eyebrow section shares the same "air" space as the headlight section, but I usually open the hood and remove the circular angel eye bulb cover and let it air out overnight.
You can also use a blowdryer or heat gun and heat the lens from the outside and the condensation will turn to vapor and find its way out the same way it came in.

Usually this problem is caused by a perished seal between the front cover and the plastic housing.
You can buy new rubber seals which will permanently repair the problem
Drilling a hole will not clear the moisture unless it is built up like a river in the bottom of the lense
