Default need help bad

hey everyone ok im gonna get strait to the point. like a month ago i accidently rear ended someone gettin off the waldron rd exit and since then ive noticed my passengers side headlight seems to be leaking water. well it wasnt that bad at first just some condensation in the headlight but this morning when i got up after the rain cleared i went out to my car and noticed that my headlight was filled with water like an inch high. so my question is what can i do to fix this and can anyone help?

open the headlight (oven?), clean, put rain-x on the inside. seal back up, and seal up any cracks that lets the water thru. or just buy a new headlight.

its ridiculously easy.. just bake it pry apart gently buff the inside and out real good put the parts back in the oven for a few to warm the glue back up and press back together..once it dries silicone around the edges also..let dry and put back in..

there is a DIY somewhere, oven needs to be a specific temp and etc. I've opened up headlights before, not that bad.
