You will need a new headlight, I don't think it is possible to remove and replace the outer glass without doing major damage to where it is glued and clipped on.
Fairly sure you can't get the outer glass by itself anyway.
Usually plenty of used ones on Fleabay but they ain't cheap.

The 'generic' procedure in order to replace clear headlamp covers is to warm-up the broken assembly in an oven. Then remove the old plastic using floss to 'cut' the old adhesive. Re-attach and seal with a flowable window sealer like Permatex 81730. Plenty of YouTube vids for other cars...
If you decide to replace the entire light assembly, be aware that there are different configurations...EG, some include cornering lights.
