Can anyone tell me how to remove and repair the headlamp assembly so I can remove the moisture in my headlamp assembly?

The first thing you need to do is make sure the water shedder circled in the picture is still in place on both headlamps. If not, you WILL have moisture in the lamps. If those are still there, you can seek out bulletin 417-05 for a procedure to install some "T"-piece vents to the lamp housings. You don't give the model year, so bear in mind some early cars do not have the provision on the housing to add the vents.

The usual cause is the lack of the shedders due to lack of attention by a repair tech or body shop following some repair work. They usually stop the moisture.

Good luck!
