Default Drove through huge puddle. Headlight moisture question

Hello so the other night it rained really bad here in south jersey and on my way home from work it was dark out so i didnt see this monster puddle and I ended up going for a swim. Now BOTH headlights are full of moisture...

Do u truly have to take them out and bake them? You know the whole 9 yards or will they dry up on their own..?
Just wanted to double check before I go through all that. Thanks again!

You will have to remove them, [it] to dry them out properly, but more importantly to find out why the moisture got in in the first place.

Is the housing "split" at the seam, is there a hole in the housing or is it just bad gaskets at the bulb housings.

If it is just bad gaskets you can dry the housing with a blow dryer or heat gun, I have even used compressed air without removing the housing and then replaced the gaskets. 94
