    Default Lazy fix for headlight condensation on Mazda3 2005

    It's too cold outside to take my bumper off, etc to remove the headlight assembly and bake it to remove condensation (and then reseal it), so I took the lazy approach:

    Remove the high beam bulb, remove the turn signal bulb (use long bent-nose pliers), and run warm air from a hair blower through a slender 'ATF' type funnel into the high beam hole in the headlight.

    And go inside and have a hot drink while you wait (took about 15 min) for the moisture to get blown out of the turn signal hole. Run cold air at the end to ensure moisture is gone.
