are these the ebay ones? the lenses are very cheaply made, so you might just have to buy new lenses..

If they're those "projectors" from ebay with the semi frosted clear plastic over the wedge-like part where the signal reflector should be, there probably isn't much you can do since its not really a housing, just lights with a cover on it right? Now if it was a complete housing, a little black silicone reapplied over the seams where the front of the housing and the rear of the housing would do it, but on those lights, i don't know if there's much you can do.

Please post up pics of what the lights are and whats happening so we can better diagnose.

edit: oops sorry thought you said housing is leaking in addition to cracked lenses..........you might have to just get new lenses, or get some fabricated using better glass.....but if they're as cheap as you say its probably not worth it to mod cheap lights to be better
