your lens is leaking so drying it will be futile. could try pulling the lense housing and bring it inside and dry. once dry find any leak in the housing seal and repair.

^^ +1

These like to leak around the seam where the grey and amber plastic meet. Use some medium thickness CA glue and accelerant to seal it up. If the amber is cracked get a new light, and also check the seal on the socket, that is another place water gets in.

Is it easier to remove it from the bottom or should I remove the head light and take it out from there?

Personally I like to get them out from the top by removing the headlight. And I also pull the front cover off the header at the middle to make removing the headlight easier as well.

The bumper cover. There are 5 plastic push rivits where the header holds the bumper cover. Remove these rivits and then pull the bumper cover over the header and you will have an easy day removing the headlights.

I removed the signal lens and I am letting it dry now. Turns out I am missing the gasket around tge signal socket. I am going to glue it up just to be safe. Thanks Massey it was so much easier from the top
