Eric,
Be careful with the hair dryer. I once tried to clear the moister from
the lens of my girlfriend's 95 GTI-VR6 with a hair dryer and the chip in
the lens where the moister had entered became a HUGE crack, and I had to
replace the lens. The lens couldn't take the high heat. The dryer will
work. Just set in on a LOW heat setting and give it time.
I have a 95 GLX myself and live in Austin TX. where the humidity is in
the 90% range on a regular basis. I have NOT experienced any
condensation on the inside of my lenses. Check closely for cracks
and/or chips in the lens. And inspect the gasket around the bulb.
Has anyone else had any trouble with condensation on a well sealed head
light lens??

Hi All,
Just noticed tham my right headlight on my 95 GLX is full of moisture.
What should I do about it? Take it apart to wipe it off? Should I not
really bother and let it go away (it has been really humid in DC of late
with some rain).
Anybody else had this problem?</PRE>
