Lamps Condensing Water

I had understood that this problem was corrected on later versions of the headlamps, with an improved vent. I think that 1994 was the last year for the Shadow/Sundance before it was replaced by the Neon. If the headlamps are aftermarket, they may not have the improvements that Chrysler implemented.

Sometime ago, there was a post about drilling a small hole in the bottom of the headlamp housing so that the water could drain. I can't seem to locate it now.

Not a good idea. Better idea: remove the rubber bushing from the bulb.

Stop by your local Chrysler dealer parts counter and obtain two of P/N

If there's liquid water sloshing around in the lamps, remove the lamps from the car and thoroughly drain/dry them.

Drill a 1/4" hole in the top of each headlamp, about 3/4" forward of the top adjustor tower. Remove the plastic chips from the drilling, and snap the vent into the hole.

Make sure to aim your lamps carefully and correctly after disturbing them like this.

A second-preference method involves removing the bulbs, removing and discarding the rubber O-rings from the bulb bases, and then reinstalling the bulbs. This accomplishes the same thing, however, some headlamp designs rely on the O-ring for proper bulb retension and the bulb can rattle around in its holder if the O-ring isn't present. This, in turn, shakes the bulb to pieces and causes beam pattern flicker, which is annoying and not very safe.
