Default Headlamp Moisture

2006 Corvette, right headlamp moisture. Driving and the heat from the lamp does not seem to dry it out.
Question: Is this a quick-fix (okay, I'm hoping)? If so, how? Alternatively, is this a mandatory dealer issue and several thousand dollars?

No quick fix. Not required to take it to the dealer.

It will require removing the lens from the light 'bucket'. There are many threads on CF and videos on the youtube how to do it. In short, remove the bumper cover. Loosen the bumper. Remove bucket. Remove lens. Clean and replace. Now what I said in a dozen or so words will take a couple days and requires an oven. Make sure your do more in depth research to learn the details I glossed over.

No kidding, if it were as easy as you make it sound I would be doing it right away.
