Default fogged headlight

I still got the stock headlights on my 96 Accord EX and I realized the other day that the pass side headlight is pretty fogged up and hurting my brightness. No appartent cracks or standing water that I can see. Anyone know any tricks to remove the vapor?

thanks in advance

I was thinking would it be possible to just take the bulb out and let it air out or is there another sealed compartment separate from the mirror?

The headlights already have a little rubber vent in it. I guess you could pull out the bulb and use a hair dryer.
