Default Moisture in the headlights

Does anyone have this problem. For some reason I have some how got water inside the headlights on my 02 impala. I don't see any cracks where rain can get in but there must be something. Anyway how do I fix this. I really don't want to replace the headlight fixtures because they look brand new. The car hasn't been in any accidents or anything. I'm just puzzled.

Try removing the whole light assembly from the car. Then you can check for tiny, not easily found cracks. I once drilled a very small hole on the bottom of a plastic headlight somewhere where it wasn't visible that allowed the water to drain out.

I would also go with the 2 hole drains, from Firepop. Sometimes headlights (and tail lights)just have that problem. If your car still has warranty, demand that they replace the entire light housing. But if you only have it recently, drilling a small hole in the bottom of the lights will usually solve the problem for you.
