Default H2O In Headlight

I have an SC300 and I want to open the driver side headlight to clean out the water in it. what should I use when resealing it to avoid water in the future?

If your only trying to take the water out the headlights, you should just take the lowbeam bulb out and use a hair dryer for about 30 mins. It will all go away. This is what I did, summer time is coming around you shouldnt have any more condensation in there anyways. SC's headlights are prone to have condensation.

Dessicant packets tucked inside somewhere and use 100% silicone to seal it
