Ok so I recently purchased some clear sidemarkers for the front of my car. I followed the recommendations of this site to silicone the edge of the lens to the back housing to keep condensation out, well it didn't work on my driver side. I thought about submerging the lens in water to see where the leak is but that would introduce more water into the housing. What is the best way to get the condensation out? Oven? Leave it in sunlight? They need to be pulled out anyways so I can replace the bulbs with my new ones that I just received today. Thanks.

Try baking it lens side down, on a dish towel, on a cookie sheet, on the lowest temperature your oven allows for 20 mins or so. If we can bake headlights, then this wont damage side markers and might be your cure. I have this problem too but it doesnt bother me much. Let us know how it goes

Cool thanks, I've got it siting in a bed of rice in a zip lock bag right now, see how it goes, and then will try the oven.

Try silica packets if you can find any.

I tried rice & sillica packets in a ziplock bag in the sun. It got most of the moisture out but also got some pieces of rice in the sidemarker that remain in there to this day. I also tried a hairdryer that didn't seem to do much.
