i saw a write up on how to fix this but you pre heat your oven to i think 300.put the headlight in for a couple of mins till the glue gets soft and take some strong tape and clothes pins and tape and pin along the outside of the headlight. if you see any gaps reseal with some rtv sealer and let dry. this should work or buy some new ones for 120.00 a set.

Take the headlight out and pump hot air into it via the lamp holes with a hair dryer. That'll get some of it out (PITA though sitting there for 15 mins drying it)then just let it air dry until the remainder is gone and try resealing it around the lensas best you can.
