Hi Everyone,
Any good ideas on how to get rid of moisture build up in headlamps? I
thought of blowing it out...but I don't want debris of any sort to get
stuck in there. How about sucking it out with a vac? Heat? Leaving
the lamps on with the back cover open? Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

All depends what sort of headlight it is. If it is one with bulbs that
push in then just take the bulbs out for a couple of days.

And/of blow hot air in with a hair dryer. Some lights have removable lenses
so you can get in that way and check the gaskets at the same time
