Has anyone ever removed the front bumper cover on a 2006 Forester? The driver's side headlight housing is 2/3 full of water. Apparently to get to the headlight housing I have to remove the front bumper cover. Any help would be appreciated.

DUDE!

 

2/3 full, you should be able to just pull the bulb out and get most of it out. Then just tape a small hose to a wetvac to suck out the rest.

 

Then look for where the waters getting in and seal that up.

My son has an '06 forester, there is a lot of condensation in both headlights. No lakes in there yet though.

I had to use some polyseamseal or similar to push into the  seam on top of the OBW's left  tail light. seems to have stopped the infiltration so far.

Drill a 1/8" hole in the lowest corner in the bottom of the lens.

drill the hole. had to do that with my 4runner headlights....although in the housing since the lens is glass. sealed up everywhere else with rtv, but now not even condensation can build up. the heat from the lamp keeps it burned off
