Some modifications to the instructions I provided you. Now that I am home and can actually see the screws and bolts and whatnot, and not just going on what the Rave CD looks like... :-) Changes to steps 1 and 4.

1. remove the turn signal indicator lamp - theres a tab you press to release the lamp. the tab does not actually come up through the bonnet platform, but rather if you peer at the back side of the turn indicator lamp you'll see itIts the grey plastic tab toward the right side in the picture.

4. remove bolt securing the lamp to the bonnet platform - on top of the lamp, toward the front, coming up through the bonnet platform. Remove the bolt securing the lamp to the inner wing platform - this bolt is straight back from the first bolt, like 5-6 inches in... and is actually about 8 inches down toward the ground. You can see this bolt in the attached photo. To the left of the tab referenced in step 1, and next to the wiring connector in the photo.

As to drying moisture out of the headlamp housing, have not done this, and actually i do not know to what degree you can dis-assemble the headlight housing itself. I wouldnt do it unless nothing else works. Beware.... parts here could be glued together and you could do more harm than good. If you remove both bulbs - the dipped beam and the inline beam - it would seem that these two open sockets would allow good airflow through the housing so that you could lay the assembly next to a heat register in your house for a couple days (not too close to a radiant heater or it could melt). Assuming you don't have a humidifier in-line with your heater, the dry air could help. Other idea is if you have an air compressor you could try shooting air in through each hole. Also you can get silica gel packets. These are those "DO NOT EAT" packets that come with new shoes and new electronics, but you can also get them at some hardware stores. Depending on where the moisture is it might make sense to put a silica gel packet into the housing - not way into a corner though bc you have to get it out. Or you could seal the headlamp housing and a few silica gel packets in a plastic kitchen trashbag for a couple days and see if that helps absorb the moisture. Good luck.
