Replacing XP-G with XM-L?

I just posted this over at CPF, but the I think the users here are much more of the modding sort then they are. Anyway, I would like to replace an XP-G emitter in a little light with an XM-L emitter.

I just purchased a very cheep flashlight, about the cheapest you can find, $5. It is a small no-brand light that has an XP-G LED. The output of the light is very impressive. I would say that it is about 200lm (that's just comparing it to one of my nice flashlights).

Just for fun I would like to try to swap out the XP-G for an XM-L.
I found an XM-L that looks like it could just be "dropped in," it has the same oporating voltage, and the current is higher than the XP-G so it wouldn't get burned out or anything.

Here is a link to the light that is in my flashlight: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3/XPGWHT-01-0000-00FE3CT-ND/2242664
And here is a link to the light that I would like to get: http://www.digikey.com/product-deta...0LT40E4/XMLAWT-00-0000-000LT40E4CT-ND/2615395

Has anyone done this? --Thank you!

My $5 light!
