Default My Headlights got fogged

I probably didn't screw them in properly so my headlight got fogged. Only one though. Anyone have an idea and a solution? Will popping it in the oven work?

On a low humidity day (if possible), partially remove the bulb, use hair dryer to heat up the lamp housing. With the housing warm, plug in the bulb. This will produce low pressure inside the housing with less moisture.

Warning: Use proper care not to over heat.

Quick (partial) alternative: Turn on the lamp and use that to heat the housing.

I can't replace my whole headlight. My eye brows in on the headlight. I don't want to lose an OEM TRD eyebrow. There must be a way to fix the headlight.

Same thing happened to me. Lexus service said it was a bad seal. My car is still under warranty and they replaced the whole headlight.
