True. Also true that you'll probably destroy the entire thing tryng to get the lenses off, and even if you manage to get it off, clean out all the old sealing mastic and use new butyl mastic, it will still leak water inside.

Been there, did that, destroyed one unit, the other leaked badly no matter how much I tried re-sealing it with RTV, and I ended up replacing both xenon units with decent ones from ebay. You can find the entire headlight there for about $US75–100.
