Headlight disaster folks - I did a thing.

Never had any issues!

Yeah, the cookie sheet is for food so doesn't stick. It won't hold any heat back like aluminum foil and with the lens facing downwards there's always a good chance something may mess up. With lens facing upwards it'll take longer to bake but I feel really safe using that method.

That sounds like it would work. On my last headlight, I put it on a soaking wet piece of cardboard and had no problems. This way, at the contact points energy will be first used to evaporate the water before the temperature goes up too high.

Try your best not to use anything that is wet! Reason is once the oven heat up it will create lots of steam which will get your inner lens all wet and possibly bake in the water spots. I don't wipe the inner lens if I don't have to, the inside doesn't have a protectant layer like the outside and it'll scratch up very easily. So be careful!
