headlight:halogen to xenon??

ive got an 05 max with the xenon headlights i was in a small accident so the passenger side light cracked but only the chrome on the inside of the headlight. all the lenses are fine. ive been looking around and the cheapest that i found was $400 and the halogens are $150. can i change the lenses from my headlight (xenon) and install them in the halogen headlight?

You have to open the headlights because the halogen projectors are too big to pull out through the back. You'd be better off opening both headlights and replacing the broken chrome piece with the one from the halogen light.
