Water in Marker Light

I'm trying to get the moister out of one of the exterior side lights. Does anyone know how to remove the lens?

There's a small screwdrive hole in the bottom-right of the fixture but all I've succeeded in doing is chip the plastic chrome.

What's the secret?

    FYI. I did a little research and the current T@B marker lights are Optronics MCL 19 AB. You can't just replace the led bulb, you have to replace the entire unit. Bulb is completely sealed. Although not sealed very well in my case. That means rewiring the fixture too.

    No word yet from the factory on getting a replacement.

    One other trick you can try is by using a hair dryer on the lens.  Put it on high heat, fan the HD across the lens periodically and that should dry up some of the moisture.  Just don't keep the hot air blowing in one spot too long to eliminate the possibility of melting something.
