|  Headlight Condensate
My 2008 Z06 passenger side headlight has condensate on the inside of the plastic. My 2005 NEVER did that. Do I have to take it to the dealer or is there a way to open it, dry it out and re-seal it?

If your vehicle is still under warranty (2008 should be), take it to your dealer. | |||||||||||||||||||||

I suppose the dealer could remove the bulbs, put an airhose in one while the other is venting. As long as the air is DRY, it could work. Nitrogen line used for tires would work better. Then, replace the bulbs quickly, trapping the N inside. Awww heck, I don't know if this would work or not as I was jus' guessin!  | ||||||||||||||||||||

See what happens when you drive a Vette in the rain? There's not too many places on earth that's more humid than Houston. Park it facing the sun and hope for the best.
