    yeah just follow that guide. about 5 or so minutes in a 100c oven.
    
    Only thing i would say is after you have sealed them back it might be worth running a bit of silicone around the join just to make sure they are sealed up properly

    Wrap both lights each in a pair of dark tights
    Some may say cheap and cheerful bit I actually think it looks really cool
