Help Condensation in my Headlights!!

I did a diy clearing headlights awhile back.. and i noticed after a week or so that i have condensation building up in my headlight units. Is there a way to get the water out with out splitting the headlight units apart? I hate to do that again. Thanks alot. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

I read some thread about someone who had the same problem and took out his headlight assembly, and simply re-applied the silicon and used a blow dryer in the light socket to dry the inside of the headlight out.
