Keep us posted on how it goes. This is something that I have wanted to do but not really that sure about how to cook a headlight properly

Don't wanna make the headlight too crispy now...

I woulda left the door open & a baby gate up and watched it if I did that and was unsure...

I mean I like melted headlights as much as the next person but you have to make sure they aren't too over done
