That's always a good idea. I have mentioned it in the past and someone usually comes on and says it's cheaper to DIY fix it. But if you figure the time and labor, and materials to do the job right, you can get a new replacement on eBay for close to that price, and that should last a good many years more. Some of the repairs to the outer sealant on the lens have needed to be re-done a couple of years later due to failure of the new sealant due to UV ray deterioration. When I first started doing these on my van in '01, there were practically no new ones being offered on eBay. Now many years later they are very common and if you do some research into the prices by different sellers, you can get them at a lower price. (Back then I was quoted $249 for one headlamp capsule at the Chevy stealership
. Now you see them under $50-$60 new on eBay.)
