Hi All!

The inside of my headlight lens on my 99 Sport is fogging up...passenger
side. Is it possible to disassemble this unit to clean the inside of the
lens or just get a new replacement assembly?

TIA for all help/suggestions.

I had a similar problem with a '95 Ram (different truck, I know) when I lived in
NY. I removed the housing, cleaned it out good, and drilled two 1/8" holes in the
bottom of the housing to allow air flow. It still developed a little condensation
at the very bottom, but not much at all. And only when the humidity was high. Which
I guess was all the time. When I moved to CO, it never occurred again.

Did you seperate the lens itself from the assembly housing? Curious to know
how well it's glued together and whether or not I might break it trying to
seperate them.

No, I didn't. After I removed it, I cleaned it out good through the hole in the back
where the bulb was. Then drilled the holes and re-installed.
