Take it out, let it dry, seal it up....you can do a partial clear without opening the light. Also the silver blinker bulbs look great, forget the name of them...

^^^So clean, love them. Removed some of the orange internals with needle nose, just a small piece left in each corner, clean...and no need to crack open lights.

Honestly, OP, why not just let the car/lights dry for a week in the garage then seal the top seam where the water is coming through?, might be an easy option.

What do the metal clips do? "taking it apart is the only choice" - how?

I completed the clear corner effort for both lights in less than a half an hour. The metal clips appear to merely hold the lens to the body while the seal is setting I do believe. I used a heat gun to quickly melt the sealant and pulled the lens off the body. Popped out the amber reflector and then seated the lens back on the body. Clipped things up tight and then heated the entire perimeter to melt the butyl mastic and close things up.



You could simply use a heat gun or the oven to melt the mastic to ensure it's not dried out and creating a break in the seal, or like many others have suggested, dry the light out buy opening the inside to air and then using some exterior sealant. Doesn't look great, but can be done. If you're doing the clear corners, then just ensure adequate coverage for the mastic as part of the reseal.
