Default Will PlexiGlass Melt?

I am doing a HID retrofit in my Civic Headlight and I was wondering if I use plexiglass that's 1/8 inch thick as a shroud. Will it melt due to the high heat from the projector? The projectors sits on the plexiglass. Im fearing that it will warp or melt. Any advice?

i dont think you will have a problem.

this is the web page i got this from read for more info.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_glass

plexiglass and acrylic are the same thing.

trade names Plexiglas, R-Cast, Perspex, Plazcryl, Acrylite, Acrylplast, Altuglas, Polycast and Lucite and is commonly called acrylic glass or simply acrylic.


hope this helps
