Default Water in headlight, drain hole?

Hi, I just noticed there is water in my passenger side headlight. My question is, does the GS headlight have drain holes to let the water evaporate? The water is in there for a week now, because it's been cold and cloudy, it didn't get a chance to dry. Anyone else experience this? Any alternative to reseal the whole headlight?
Thanks in advance!

Have you had any minor accidents recently? Perhaps someone backed into you on the parking lot ? It seems that you have a crack in your headlight housing, often caused by an accident. It could also be a broken / cracked tab.
Hard to say the what the real cause is without taking the whole headlight out.

Thanks! I will look at the headlight little more closely. It also havnt rained for 6+ months, do you think it could be dried seal? Or is it most likely a crack? Thanks!
