    It's really easy, pop the little metal clips off with a flat screwdriver under the end with the small hole, lift off the glass and rubber, clean the rubber and glass and refit. Don't touch the silver reflectors inside at all, and don't try to clean them except with clean air.

          Pretty sure there should be no glue... they are just rubber gaskets...

              Yes, early lights have a thin strip of double sided tape to hold the seal into the slot in the housing, but it's fine without it.
