water in right high-beam problem, its a frikkin indoor pool party in there T_T Options

[aww_shoook_em]

my right high-beam is 1/4 full. 3/4 empty with nasty yellow water...

I bought my 6Gen thinking that it wouldnt be a big problem...
once I noticed that there was moisture in the high beam, I ticked a little bit about it, but then again, didnt pay much attention...

I started noticing it around last month of december and since its been raining, its been filling up..

anyways, Ive been trying to find out how I can get rid of it without paying for another highbeam..
Baller on a budget yo.. but if it means buying another high-beam, I'll have to do it..

any info please, greatly appriciate it...

ha, this brings back memories. It seems like water, particularly in the driver side high beam is common. Its nothing too complicated to fix but i think its a pain. For instance, you have to remove the whole front bumper to be able to take out the light . There is a thread detailing the removal somewhere on here... but once you have it out, take off the three little clips that hold the glass to the rest of the light. Next stick the whole lens into a pot of water (on top of a wooden spoon so it doesnt crack the glass) and let it simmer for about a minute. Then quickly take out the light and try to seperate the lense from the casing with a butter knife. (other people stick the whole beam into the oven but i dont like that method, its up to you) Once off, you're gonna see alot of factory adhesive all over the place. Your choices are to either remove all of it and reseal the lens with some permatex, or you can just reuse it. I find that removing it is easier. Once you have that figured out, replace the clips so that they hold pressure while the new seal sets.

this really isn't all that difficult, and you can easily figure out the details as you go along.
