Water in the driving lights

Well, only the driver's side, actually.

The lense is fogged up and there is a small puddle of water in the lense which is clearly visible from the outside looking in.

I changed the light bulbs top and bottom (Silverstars) about three months ago and I'm guessing that's the culprit. Te passenger side is perfect.

I've checked the seal where the bulb goes in and everything seems A-OK to me.

Two questions: How do I remove the water from inside the lense, and should I seal the bulb mounting with some silicone?

Should I give that whole idea a miss and take it back to me dealership?

I have the same problem and I have NEVER replaced the bulbs so I'm stumped at that on.
Don't run yer fogs or the bulb will break. Mine did .
I'm headin to the dealership tomorrow to price a replacement driver side fog assembly.
