My Ride: 06 550i Titanium Gray/Auburn interior. Sprintbooster, RPI Scoop W/BMC Filter, RPI exhaust, 20" Miro 111
Rained like crazy in Florida last week, and one of my headlights is completely fogged up with moisture. First been sitting in the sun for almost a week and has not got any better. Whats the best way to get in the headlight? I've done the AE switch so I can pull the assembly out with no problem. Also, does anybody know the part number for the seal? Thanks guys in advance.

Unless it's terrible, it should dissipate if you take a cap off on the back. Otherwise, if we're talking major leakage, the fastest way I know is to stick it in the oven.

Pull the headlight out, take the light covers off and take a vaccum, perferably a shop vac and let it sit and suck the moisture out. Put caps back on properly this time and check for possible cracks. If you want, put some RV Sealant on and let it tack up before putting the covers back on. This will work 100%.
