Blue Bat Headlight Overlay

If I install the bluebat eyelids on my tC, will I still be able to bake the headlights with them on at a later point to install clear corners or will the overlay mess up in the oven?

I just googled and got a melting point ranging from 350-500 degrees fahrenheit for most poly/vinyls.

That, and Dakine's experiences make me think you'll be ok if you keep it around under 250 in the oven.

I don't know why you'd go above 250F anyway.

bubbling is what I thought would happen, even a low temperature such as 250.

i dont think you should be baking your headlights at that high of a temp anyways... 210 for 5 mins usually works.

does anybody know how to put on the dual layered eyelids??
Am I supposed to do them separate or both at the same time?

I e-mailed blubat but he didn't get back to me.
