Dang plastic headlights

On my 1996 I can't seem to get the moisture out of the headlight assembly and so it keeps blowing up the bulb when it is on, any suggestions on how to get the moisture out of the headlight assembly? Thanks!

Remove the lens and bring it somewhere warm to dry out.

Then look into sealing the seams on the edges of the housing, and consider some kind of silicone grease to help the lamp o-ring seal better.
