That's about your only option without removing the headlight. But it might not work. If it doesn't, crack those lights open again and seal them with 2 tubes of sealant.

Definitely, the best and most effective way is to crack 'em open (bake 'em for like 3-4 minutes on like 200 degrees or something) and split 'em. Let 'em air out, reseal them up good so it doesn't happen again.
