Clear corner moisture problem

I never put silicone on my clear corners when i installed them. What is an easy way to get the moisture off the lense so that I can seal them properly like i should have done originally. Anyone?

take the bulbs out of each lens, pour a little alcohol into the hole swoosh it around and pour out the excess alcohol, then heat with a hair dryer or hold it over a halogen lamp if you have one, maybe the bedroom or living room,move the assmbly back and forth don't get too close the light element or you will either melt the lens or burn yourself! after that put the bulbs back in, apply a bead of silicon around the back of the lens where the backing and the lens are connected. this took about 30 min to evaporate the water. the silicon may take about 4 hours to dry
