best way to get rid of condesation

I got a **** load of condensation in one of my headlights, what is the best way to get rid of it? I was thinking of using a blow dryer.

take headlight off. throw it in oven, or leave it out on a hot day, with the holes up - let everything evaporate. get some sealer or gasket type **** from autozone, seal the headlight. put it back on, if it is sealed tight u wont get condensation anymore

I fixed my old headlights with a hairdryer and moved the sealant around once it softened up enough

a heat gun would probably work better if you kept it at a nice distance and moved it around

well I did paint my stock lights black a long long long time ago. Now they sit in the garage collecting dust.

Another thing I've noticed is that the light(HID) pulses from time to time now
