It would be a lot better to just replace them. Once they start to leak, sealing them again is near impossible.

The 94's have glass headlight covers. Those are much better than the lexan ones they used after that. It would be much more economical to separate yours and reseal them.

Do a google search for a detailed how-to...but here are the basics.
Remove entire head light assembly.
Bake in oven at 200* until sealant softens.
Carefully separate the lens.
Clean off old sealant as well as you can.
Reseal with an adhesive such as Sikaflex 296 per manufactures instructions.

Like I said, to a search to find detailed instructions, but many people have used this same basic process with very good results...or you could spend a boat load of money buying replacements.
