Moisture in my headlight

Hey guys! So I recently decided to open up my headlights and put in some LED tubes for looks. I guess I didn't seal them back up correctly and now my driver side light is like a waterfall, its actually really frustrating. Now, is there a way I can fix this without taking the headlight out?




Some pics when there was no water in it.

you messed up the seal or didnt reseal it good enough.
means you're going to have to pull the headlight to reseal it

Best way is to take it off, remofe all the bulbs place facedown on some cardboard and into the oven , bake out all the water. Then throw some silica gel packets in there for later so it won't happen again . You'll have to seal it properly so it won't re-occur

Thank you!

And when you say throw some silica packets, like throw them where?
