Defogging a headlight

[Tommychu]

I recently put a junkyard headlight in the Vibe. Thing is, when the dude backed into my car the bulb socket was destroyed so the assembly went in without the bulb, and I had to drive through a pretty bad storm with nothing filling that hole. Now that I've got the socket in there there's a fair bit of moisture in there and I'm not sure how to get it out (and making things a bit more difficult is the fact that it's already installed and I'd rather not pull it again). I was thinking about silica gel packets, but there's the issue of getting them out once they do their thing. And where to get them individually. I could pull the bulb and let the car sit in the sun, but I'm not sure that would remove all the moisture.
Anyone else have this problem? any ideas?

pull bulb and let sit in sun maybe throw a heat gun behind bulb socket that's bout the only way
