Oh God, Im scared! Im about to bake my headlights...
Hahaha! I've read up...I've downloaded the movie... And now Im about to put my first headlight in the oven. Its kinda scary because this oven is crappy. I live in an apartment, and I swear this oven gets hotter than what its suppose to be. Hahaha, I've cooked cookies in this thing in like 5 minutes... Here goes nothing! *crosses fingers*

Thats exactly what I was thinking about doing...but then I realized its 8 pm...both headlights are already out...and I dont really have any other way to get to the store to get a thermometer...Ha! Light #1 is in the oven...I think I'll just do some close monitoring... *fingers are still crossed*

**** so yea, it melted a tiny bit in the corner. Pretty much wherever the light is resting on the cookie sheet, you gotta watch out. Although, it is kinda near the back, and I think that with some sealant and some paint, it probably wont even be noticed...

Actually, looking at pictures now, Im pretty sure it wont be an issue. Its not an exposed (visually) part. I will just goop it up really well...*sigh of relief*
*Edit: Just so you know, its part of the black back area. The lense wasnt bothered by the heat at all...

My roommate came home when I was doing this mod. I had an oven mitt on as I opened the door and pulled a headlight out. He just gave me a really funny look and walked away.
