I have a 2009 Chevy Cobalt with 20,000 miles on it. The right headlight has a lot of condensation in it that I can't get to dry up. There is no nicks, or cracks in the headlight lens and all the sealent around headlight looks intact. Not very handy with cars, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

You have a breach someplace, and trust me... its not always easy to see.

Went through that on another car once... never did find where it was occurring, and I tried to find it for years before the reflector corroded. But the replacement lights never did it.

Should be a vent hole in the headlight assembly. Sometimes spiders build nest in the vent. Check it out and see if it's plugged. If it is, clean it out and drive around with your lights on. That'll dry out the inside.

If it's not plugged, buy a new headlight assembly on rockauto.com or amazon.com
