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.

not that I know of....I think u have to undo them...clean them out or something..and put more sealnt on them so they don't leak again...but....if u use ur lights...I would do it soon cuz ur bulbs might bust cuz of the moisture and damage them worse....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

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.
