check that the cap's on the rear on the lamp to cover the bulbs are on correctly and that any rubber seal's are in place . Failing that u have a split in the lamp or lens somewhere .

As said, make sure cover is properly over the back of the unit and the rubber seal intact. Best way to dry it out is fix the problem of where the waters getting in and then just have your lights on all the time your driving, will dry it out soon enough

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
If you can take it off the car and put it somewhere warm in the house overnight with all the covers and bulbs taken out. at this time of year it's the only way to dry it out completely IMO..
Check all the seals are good and then tape a bag of silica gel inside the cap when you put it back together..

Out of many, we are one.
I had condensation getting into the headlamp of my escort - pulled it inside next to the heater (its glass don't forget). Once dry I smeared a line of silicone around the lip (where the glass meets the bowl) and shes dry as a bone since.
Could be a combination of things as mentioned earlier.
