water in headlight

I have a 95 MAxima and there is water in one of the headlights. I read to bake it on low heat for 10 minutes to get it out, but will it stay out or come back? Any way to reseal it?

heat the oven on 400 F for few min then turn it off.
put headlight in there and leave it for maybe 5-10 min.
take it out and take off the lens.
and yes you can reseal them by baking it again.

i would remove the light from the car and pour the water out the bulb hole (if there is that much). then let the whole thing sit in the sun or something. If you do take it apart, DO NOT use any cleaners to clean the reflector with. It rubs off really easy. use a dry cloth and blot it.

I took mine out and baked it on the lowest setting of my oven (170) until the moisture was gone. Then I sealed the sides with silicone and mosture hasn't been back.
