Dude Im pretty sure you cant take clear corners apart. From what I can tell they dont look glued together. Your only chance would probably be to use a dremel and cut the lense off. Of course how you reattach it with a perfect seal migh be a pretty big challenge. Maybe some plastic welding stuff might hold it together pretty good.

Be sure you post pics after you get those corners in, theres another thread with a bunch of guys wanting to see what they look like installed.
I doubt it was the lense part that got leaked into, its probably not sealed well where the bulbs go in thru the top, check to see if uhave any cracks around in that area, or if the bulbs just werent in all the way
good luck to ya w/e u decide to do, im going to paint my headlights so im hoping itll be easier to get apart then what ur saying about the corners
