Default CONDENSATION! help w/headlights, i need advise

so i painted my headlights black inside, made sure it wasnt a damp muggy day or anything, and resealed them with plenty of windshield glue. but for some damn reason the drivers is getting tons of condensation inside, pass. just a tiny tiny bit.
what is the best method to get rid of it while avoiding resealing the headlight.
could i pull out the blinker bulb and hold a heatgun to the light to try and evaporate it?
could i just pull out the blinker bulb and let it vent for a lil while?
could i drill in a permanent vent or something where it wouldnt cause other problems?
and one person at work said to put some silicate gel packs (like you get in your shoe boxes) to absorb the moisture?

I know you said you didnt want to re-seal again, but really that would probably be the best method.

if you pull the bulb out and just dry it up, you havent fixed the problem - you've only cleaned it up temporarily ...which means, it'll happen again.

someone correct me if im wrong.

but i say take them apart, let everything dry up and reseal everything with silicone
