If there is no exposed wire emerging from the glass, you have a bit of a problem. It's sometimes possible to expose a bit of wire by grinding down the glass around it with a Dremel, but you need to be very careful, and the glass dust is nasty stuff too. If you can expose a mm or so you may be able to solder a wire to it.
I suppose there's nothing to lose, but I wouldn't bother for relatively common valves like these.
