I think I'm putting this in the right forum, if not feel free to move it.
We just had a few days of solid rain and wet weather in central florida and my retros got some condensation in them. I did not want to take out the headlights and pull them apart to get rid of it, seemed like too much work for a little fog in the lense lol. I started thinking that all it really needed was some air flow to allow the condensation to evaporate. So here's what I did...
Pull the high beam bulb out
Get out your shop-vac and use the attachment with the smallest opening
Aim it at the hole for the high beam bulb and turn it on reverse so its blowing air and not sucking air
I let it run for about 20min and all the condensation was gone!!
I dont think Ive seen this trick posted here before so hope this helps some of you. Sorry about not having pics. I didnt think about it until afterwards.
