Definitely the way to go. I did the same after both of mine cracked. Wasn't hard to do just make sure you take your time with the install.

Get a tube of clear silicon adhesive, cost $3-4 at any hardware store, just read the labels for application or ask the employee at the store. The smaller tube works good, not the size that goes in a caulking gun as it is easier to control.

If you have questions prior to purchasing, send and e-mail to the seller. He will answer any questions you have and send you sample instructions prior. He will also send complete instruction after the purchase is finalized.

I was able to use the partial instruction to take apart and remove the broken glass. It is very easy if you are at all handy. Just take your time and go slow when removing the trim ring and the broken glass. The silver reflective material is easily scratched. The entire process should take you about an hour or so.

Good Luck and it is a great fix.
