Default Headlight Glass Replacement

I have a nice hole in my passenger side headlight glass. Saw these replacement lenses on ebay. Can they be replaced easily? I thought I would have to replace the entire enclosure.

Easy. Pop out the headlight currently mounted to your vehicle.

The level of difficulty in replacing the lens increases proportionately with the amount of glue used to affix the current lens to the headlight body.

(If there's no glue, it's easy. If there's lots of glue, it's hard.)

You're going to have to learn how to remove and re-install the headlight either way, so you might as well figure out how to do it now...

Ok, it is still the lens from the factory so I imagine it won't be too bad. I will STFA for a how to on headlight removal. I am pretty mechanically inclined so I don't think it will be too difficult for me. Anyone have any suggestions for what glue to use to attach the new lens?
