just get it open carfefully and when you are done just get some more silicone and reapply it back to the light to seal it up because oviesly the silicone wasnt applied everywere and should of never fogged up like that, if it was properly sealed

i got the same headlights as you..what you could try before you take it apart is get something like like a really skinny ruler or anything you can find that fits into the turn signal hole, put a moist cloth over what ever your going to use and put it in the hole and try to give it a wipe..should work

i thought about that too, but in order to get the cilicone off wouldn't you have to melt it in the oven first, or can i just take it off?

get something longer and more felxibleits better then taking off the silicone, ya you would need to heat it up, you can use a heat gun or try a blow dryer as well..i would be afrade to put them in the oven...also a sharp razer blade and cut through the silicone, then it should be easy to pull apart..get some weather proof,felxible silicone to seal it back up
