I can top that, the wife's Fiat X1/9 has one headlight with clear silicone sealer in it since the mid 80-s, still working fine. Just squirt some in from the front and then remove the light bulb and squish the silicone so it fills the back of the hole using something like a pencil eraser. Had one of those on my 9-5 for a while too until I put E-Code headlights on it.
As to changing the lenses, I took the whole assembly out to install new European type lenses on the wife's other car, a 2003 9-3 Convertible. Easier that way. The new lenses came with new clips and rubber gasket. The grill does have to come out and so I believe did the side marker light (one screw IIRC, at least it was for the same European lens conversion on my 9-5). Pry the clips off (hang on to them, they're easier to put back on then the new ones), pull the lens off (one of the gaskets on the 9-3 tore in the process so you will be glad to have the new one), put in the the new gasket and reverse the procedure from there.
If you have the time, I strongly recommend the European lenses because of the better lighting pattern. You can get them from Taliaferro for .
