Water in Fog Lights

Hello
There was a big rain last night here in North Jersey,
and while I was driving I hit this huge puddle but I went slowly thought it will damage the FX...
However, this morning when I was checking my FX and I saw there is water in both fog lights left and right. I guess water went in while I was passing the big puddle... :(
I was wondering if the water will evaporate over the long period of time or do you guys think leaving the fog lights on for a long time will help evaporate water more quickly??
I have HID fog lights so I was turning them on for about 30 minutes and I started to see water in my fog lights was boiling lol :(
Luckily, the water didn't damage the bulb...
So let me know what would be a good solution to this problem.
Thank you guys all in advance :)
 
take off your bumper or just the pan underneath and take the bulbs out use a blow dryers and put the blow dryer in the entrance hole and let it sit there for a lil bit
 
If you drive around with your lights on whenever you drive you should be able to dry them out in a few days. If it is just moisture on the glass, it won't hurt anything. If there is liquid sloshing around in there - could hurt the lamp assembly.

Drying them out would work - but pulling the bumper just for that would be a major pain.
