Could you remove that glass, and carefully swap it for the lens on your standard light? Don't think the lenses are actually smoked on those depos are they?

Aren't there some clips around the light? Were on mine... I'd heat the lens gently to remove it, then do the same with the depo.

Then I'd mate the lens up to the depo shell and seal it round with clear silicone. Clip the clips back on if possible and job might be done...
