I just remove all the wiring and bake at 240 for 15 minutes. Once the lenses at apart and the sealant is still warm I make sure that I push as much of it as possible back into the channel.

No condensation or leaks yet.

The oven is the best option.

That's exactly how you do it push the sealant into the channel and when you heat up the housing to install the cover push it back hard so as to not strip the little screws on the light.FWIW
