You should've searched. There's several threads about this topic on this board. Anyways, since your a newb I'll offer you two solutions:

1. Take the light out, and angle it so that the water can drip out (I used the hole for the turn signal bulb). Place it in the sun or somewhere hot so that the water will condense.

2. Drill a hole in the bottom of the housing so that the water has a place to escape.

I've found they don't get as bad if you leave the rubber caps off the rear.. they'll build up a bit in the inner corner but go away soon after, especially if left in the sunlight.

check to see if you have any cracks where water can get in like when you wash the car.

i would use silicone sealant around the edges where the headlight is sealed just in case the old seals are leaking.

Okay now, drilling holes in your headlights isn't the smartest idea. This hole drilling idea is getting out of hand. You don't need a place for the water to drain buy "drilling holes," you need to seal them better, after all they are leaking and fogging because they arn't sealed properly. The seals they came with are leaking. They are cheaply made, and have cheap seals. Try taking the rubber caps off like Ricochet said, or park it in a garge or take the headlights off and let them sit overnight inside...let them basicially dry out.

Now, get soem silicion sealent, and run a bead all the way around the headlight seems. You basically need to reseal it, since the seal it has leaks. Water it getting in there because these aftermarket companies do a piss poor jpb of sealing the lights. Re-sealing them properly with slicion should keep the water from getting in by prodiving a seal...which is the reason OEM lights don't leak usually, they are properly sealed.
