If you can get somebody to machine the housing, that will solve most of the problems. Those lights are so hot you need a housing that can withstand the expansion/contraction and not leak. That's why I didn't think it was practical to try using the Xe headlamps. LED lights are cooler and a lot more forgiving. You can submerge a potted LED lamp with no problems.
