Both good answers. If you remove the lens you can blow air into it and find the leak and use some dealer to seal the crack. Like the other guy suggested. Drill a hole in the bottom of the lens so if water gets in at least it can drain. Try fixing the leak first. Should be easy to locate when it's removed
The trouble with a lamp is how they get warm while in use and then get cold, that means they grow and shrink a great many times finding imperfections in the joint between the parts and making them worse. Leaks can't easily be seen which means sealing a unit with the sealer of choice must be thorough and the lamp gaskets must be in good order and the metalwork the lamp is fastened to in good original order.
There are many sealers of different colours and viscosity intended for various purposes. I have success with a clear silicone sealer unless black is more practical.
Drill a hole in the lens it'll let the water out in the air in the dryer
SOURCE: The headlamp lens is broken. How do I replace it?
Yes, the whole assembly needs to be replaced, the lens in made onto it. When you get your new Assembely it will be fairly self evident on how to change and where the mounting bolts are. You may also need to get realinged after installation, most shops do for modest fee.
