Default SC Headlight Issues

I'm not sure if anyone else has dealt with these same problems, but I'm having trouble with my right headlight taking in moisture. If anyone knows what I can do to fix this problem I'd greatly appreciate it. I've heard there was a way to fix it, considering all it is is a leak in the lining that connects the lense to the rest of the headlight. What I'm not sure though is how to separate the lense and redo the seal. If anyone has any idea of how to do this I'd like to know.

SEARCH THE SC area of the forum, this is an ongoing issue with age of these cars. I've done it before, you bake at 200 for about 10 mins, then pry it apart. It's not that hard at all, just takes some time to pull it out and reseal it.

Thanks for the advice. I just PMed someone who gave me a walkthrough of how to do it and also provided an alternative to fix it becase I don't have the time to take the headlight apart right now and do everything I want with it. I'm considering going back and shaving the lines down but I'm in and out of town too much to devote the time to it.

I've managed to remove the headlight, and I cleaned it up yesterday. The only thing I'm trying to do now is find out where the leak is in the headlight. Someone said to run soapy water on it while I run air through it to find the leak and seal it with silicone gel. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
