Ok we had a lot of rain and now have a wet headlight. Is this fixable or will Volvo replace the headlight?

We usual replaced them at the dealer if the light has no cracks in it

I just went through this whole process for the past two days. If no spontaneous keggers/parties occur, you should be able to knock this out in an afternoon including drying time.

lol my car was down for two days... due to a headlight fix that should have taken no more than a couple of hours

and just wait... i bet you next time it rains... i'll be seeing water droplets on the inside of the headlight...

get the water out ASAP. If, in VNA'a sole opinion, moisture causes the Xenon to fail you will be out anywhere from $1,100. to $1,500. That is NOT a typo. They will not cover it under warranty. I called VNA and they stuck it [in my ear].

just remove inner-caps (only the ones from high-beams) drive around when dry and switched on headlights. when fixed by this drill a hole in cap removed and place it back ... never problem again.

^^^ yeah i did not mention that becasue being an 06 it should be vented from the factory but it may not be they started venting the caps in 2005
