If you can somehow pull a vacuum you will boil out the moisture.

Also, if you can remove the unit you can put some rubbing alcohol in and shake it around it will displace the moisture and evaporate out.

My neighbor is a retired body and fender man. He had me pull out the lenses and drill three small holes in the bottom to let the moisture out. I blew air into the lense to dry it out, then used silicon caulk on all the joints to keep it dry. (and leave the holes in the bottom)

I had a amber side light that had moisture in it all the time and I tried to seal it every which way but no joy. . .finally I drilled a 1/16 " hole in the bottom to let it breathe and the problem went away. . .hope this helped

I had the same issue with the passenger side head light. I fixed it as stated above. Has not been a problem for over a year now.
