Yes glass can be replaced but it is a pain (search for Joey Mod) if it is s standard light it would be easier to get a new unit from a breakers

EDIT
You will need a second unit to do the joey mod replacement anyway

If they don't look like the pic then they aren't factory or legal xenons. And the ones you're after are about 1/5th of the price of xenons
