Lexan and Fog Lights

Morning Guys and Gals

I have several mods already done with my Subaru, and I've been sitting on the material to make Fog Light covers.

Anyone familar with the Subaru Outback knows the fog lights are cupped into the bumper. I'm sure those pockets of air cause all kinds of turbulent flow (especially after the lower grill block).

My question is simple. Has anyone had experience with Lexan and it melting from head lamps or fogs? I will basically be cover the recessed fog light and trapping a pocket of air. I'm fairly confident that the 9005 bulb will not produce enough heat to do damage, but its always fun to ask.

This will also be my next, on-going project for the Subaru, so this can count as the offical thread.
