You might be able to seal it but you would have to let it dry out completely before you seal it. It would probably be best to just replace it. If you have a dark colored car you might replace both with cool looking dark smoked tail lights. If you are unsure how to get them in and out a Haynes manual is a great investment and will show how to do this and many other things as well.

I have the manual and it shows how to get them out but not take them apart...I think it will be fine if i dry them out completely as long as I can get them sealed back really well...poor build quality when it comes to lighting on fords i guess...but yeah I hope to tint them to match the black car asap

I do not think they come apart, I believe that they are glued together.

Oh yeah, I just noticed "black on black" that will look awesome when you tint them
