Clear bumper light fix?

Does anyone know any other tricks to get the condensation out of the clear bumper lights? So far i've tried the bag or rice trick and a hairdryer, just can't seem to get them dry again.

Thanks...

open them up, wipe them down and then seal them with some clear silicone

How do you open them up without cracking the lens or plastic?

Put them in the oven and use the "bake" method...Very low temperature..If you wish, after they are in the oven for a little bit, it may make it easier to open them up...

DON'T bake them... we've had members post pics of them all melted.

leave them out for a couple days, they'll dry up (leave them in the laundry room...)

then put a small bead of silicone around the edge of each one... no more condensation.
