You can try removing the bulbs and use a hair dryer to get rid of the moisture.

ive tried that.. i can only take out one bulb anyways. it just kind of swishes the water down. i tried getting a paper towel in their to take some water out but it didnt seem to go so great. what about drilling like 2 small holes in the bottom of the headlight to cure this problem? that way the water can drain. i can always buy new headlights later. i just need mine clear by tomorrow

drilling a hole would drain the water,but i am not knowing if the hole will let in moisture later...how about a shop vac,suck the water out?

i have one but the hose is too thick and it doesnt suck as well as it needs too. i think i might just give this drilling a shot and then put some hotglue over the holes when i am done.
