Replacing headlight covers

Ordered a pair of new covers off the bay of E for pre-LCI.

Was at a pull-yer-parts yard today and attempted to remove the headlight cover from a 2001 E53 with xenons, same as what I have, because hey free test flight. Holy cats those things are glued in tight... could not get it off. Removed all visible screws too. Checked the Bentley book later and it doesn't cover replacing the cover, just the whole assembly.

Anyone done this successfully?

Assuming I get the old cloudy ones off, what should I used to re-seal the whole thing?

(snagged a door lock actuator which was the only part I really need but no idea if it's any good or not... yard has a 30-day guarantee).
