First off, I baked them to warm up the gooey seal. (I removed everything I could from headlight assembly before baking to minimize harming rubber seals.) Then removed the lens from the base:

I then found the culprit, a little box like structure had unsnapped and released the ball it once held. It was probrably pulled to hard and just snapped out.

The 'box':

Where it came from:

I had to unscrew it off of the shaft:

Then snapped it back in the box:

I then reassembled everything and all seems to be working fine, now I just have to wait until dark to align the beams.

Just a note: The turn signal lamps must be removed first to get to the 2 final bolts holding the headlights on. The FSM isn't very detailed (I almost started to remove the bumper trying to find a bolt that holds the turn signal lamps on), to get them off remove the one screw on top and pull with a little might and they pop right off (there like knuckle sockets).

Very good.....

Maybe take the lenses to a glass shop and see if they can recreate them clear??
