Melted headlight lens

Wondering if anyone has had this problem...the inner lens of the headlight began to melt. I'm guessing that the headlamp is to hot (bought the box as is). I will be replacing the lamps with stock ones to avoid this reoccuring but I was wondering if anyone has any repair ideas or if they know where I can get some replacement parts.

So far, I've found a process to remove the existing lens by heating up the headlight in an oven to soften the adhesive. Then to heat up after reassembly to remove any moisture from inside the lens before rebonding. To do this I have to get my hands on some nice lenses. Does anyone have any cracked headlights they want to get rid of?

Having said all of this, can xenon lamps cause this problem?
