OLDS SILHOUETTE FRONT LIGHT PROBLEM

My 2001 Olds Silhouette just failed inspection because there was condensation and even standing water in the passenger headlight and also both corner/turn lights. The shop told me I would have to replace them all in order to pass. The price they quoted me was over $500. The headlight part alone was over $250. I started looking online today and just want to make sure I am looking for the right part. Is it the headlight (and side) assembly that I need? How difficult are these to replace? If I purchase the parts somewhere else, can I still take them to a shop and have them installed?
Thanks for your help!

Some are difficult to remove and replace. You can dry out many of them by taking bulb out and blowing compressed air thru it like crazy and when most water is gone leave a twisted paper towel hanging out of the hole for quite a while - like a day or more then look for flaws that let moisture in and repair them with clear RTV - at least least I've had some luck with that,
