moisture in ILX headlight fix?

Hi all - I've searched everywhere to find a fit here. I have a 2019 Acura ILX with some moisture in right passenger headlight. I've used a blower dryer to get rid of the moisture from the outside and the moisture came back the next day. Any ideas of what I can do here? Do I need a new highlight? is there any other fix?

Thanks

You need to allow a place for the moisture to go. Pop off the headlights or turn signal bulbs and then heat it up

I can try the signal bulbs, popping off the cover for the lights are impossible without taking the entire bumper off.

With the signals, would I just start my car, leave the blinker on whatever side the moisture is on?

Pretty sure if your getting moisture in the headlight its on the recall list for the late model ILX 2019-2022. TSB states the headlight and bumper and hood pinch the headlight a little bit.
Im 99% sure this is a Dealer Fix issue
