Remove the bulb from the unit and then dry out using a hairdryer or similar

Had the same problem with the passenger side one on mine a few months back. Used a hairdryer with the main beam bulb out but the problem came back pretty quickly which seems to have been due to the steam collecting in the indicator end of the unit.

Repeated the process with the indicator bulb out as well and used a cut off drinks bottle with dryer in the cut end and the neck pushed into the indicator bulb hole to make sure all the area is dry.

I ended up running a thin bead of silicone along the top join between the lens and the housing and have had no further problems.

With care, you can remove the lense....you have to gently pry it off and use a knife blade to cut the silicon and once removed, clean it well and re-seal with some windscreen sealent or similar good selaent.
