Headlight Inner Lens Repair Idea

One of my headlights is toasted. A search for replacement lenses came up pretty much empty, except for some half lenses in Europe. I decideded to attempt to repair the lens by cutting out the scortched section and replacing it with a smaller circular lens. I didn't want to experiment on mine so I bought the cheapest used headlight I could find on ebay and went to work. Originally I thought I could find some lenticular polycarbonate sheet but struck out there too.

The headlight lens I removed from the ebay unit was scortched far worse than my original. So much that I couldn't cover it with the roughly 5-inch circular lens. I ended out cutting way outside the circle and tried to piece meal some material from the cut up lens.

Anyway, here's what I ended up with.
