I think they're made like the ones on my '90 BII.

The lens is actually sealed to the reflector housing with some sort of extremely stiff caulk sealant of some sort. If you pry on it between the two halves, it should separate relatively easily (at least mine did).

Take it apart, clean all the old sealant off and reassemble it using some clear silicone or something similar, should fix the problem (also, you'll probably want to drill a tiny (1/16") vent hole in the flat bottom part of the housing somewhere so heat from the bulb doesn't cause pressure to build up inside it (sucking in moisture as it cools).
