The headlight needs to be disassembled. I don't think there's any way of getting around that.
I personally did the work on my xenon retrofit. Honestly, its really not that big of a deal to take the lens off. Once you get the adhesive hot, the lens will easily pry off with gentle use of a screwdriver.
Or, take it to a body shop or electrical repair shop and see if they can help you.

The exact same thing happened to me with my Zam retrofit. The only way to repair it is disassembly. I thought I couldn’t do it at first but now I'm a pro. If you’re careful, and take your time, you can do it. I followed the directions I received from Zam and took the time to paint them while I was at it. I can PM you the directions and tips on the job if you don’t have them already.

Before & after pics.
