You can 'fix' it by finding the crack and then filling it with silicone, unless the crack is somewhere on the exterior, then your only fix is to replace it.

Yea, apparently it is a crack somewhere on the exterior and it looks so bad. I guess I have no choice. Also its so hard to remove the headlight out of the 3g TL
