and to add to what he said, my pass. side headlight lens has water in it-about 1/4"
wonder if I could drill a small hole in the backside of it, and use a shop vac to suck it out, then cover it back up with silicon or something?
It acts like condensation fogs it up, and makes it look "yeller"
the driver's side looks white

you could just drill a hole in the bottom, right where the lens and housing meet. I've seen some lights have holes from the factory IIRC. but if push comes to shove, you could drill a hole wherever, drain as much as possible out of it, and leave it in the sun for a few hours with the hole facing up. when all of the moisture is out, just seal the hole back up and reinstall.

You could pull the lens off too and give it a good wet sand on the inside with some fine grit paper.  Dry it off, silicone it back together and it should look better.
