My left headlight housing is full of condensation (right side is dry).

What's the fix?
I've read on the web that some people dril a small hole in the housing to let moisture escape. Is this a good idea? If so, I assume at the bottom of the housing.

Got a picture? Mine looked like they were full of condensation but it was actually fogging on the outside of the plastic.

Our Revolution had one side that would fill with water/condensation. I did exactly that, drilled a 1/8th inch hole up from the bottom. It eventually dried out and never returned.

Also make sure the vent tube are not clogged.

In the infinite wisdom of Monaco, mine were attached with screws run directly into the housing. This filling with water. I had 1 half full!
Take it out of the coach. Jet some rice and put some into a small section of pantyhose.
Carefully poke that into the hole for the bulb.
Place in warm place for several days. Mine took about 3-5 days of I recall.
Reinstall but seal the mounting holes.

I was reading on the web (general info about this problem) and it was mentioned to check the "vent" on the housing to make sure it is clear.

I don't see a vent on mine. Maybe I need to remove the entire headlight to find this vent.

I don't have a photo handy showing the condensation - but this is the headlight style. I think Beaver used the headlight from a Ford Expedition
