Default Water Vapour in Headlight

I have some mist on the inside of my ek headlight, if I take out the headlight bulb so that there is an opening into the housing, and then make the vapour evaporate by heating it with a hair dryer, does anyone know if it will disappear? Will the saturated air will escape through the opening in the housing and the problem will be gone, or will it just stay in the housing? I know the proper thing to do would be take them apart but I don't feel like doing that, so will this work?
It seems to disappear when I turn on my headlights, but I think that once the housing cools again (to the dewpoint I guess), it reappears cause I don't think the air escapes from the housing.

If you leave it open in a dry environment for a bit of time, it should have a chance to dry out thoroughly. Once it's dry, you may also want to put a bead of silicone sealant around the lamp to make sure it is watertight.
