Wow, I'm very sorry to hear about that. An expensive lesson learned, but it certainly could have been worse if the fire spread.

I have a related lesson learned. Last weekend I cleaned the inside of the driver side headlight on my coupe with methanol. I worked outside and had rubber gloves, protective glasses, towels to lay the headlight on and to catch spills, and I also had the hair dryer to use. When I poured the methanol in I started to swish it around the lens. I wanted to see how that was going, so I held it up over my head. The methanol swished out the parking light access hole down and down the side of my head and onto my shirt. I wiped that off and quickly poured out the methanol, dried the lens with the hair dryer, and then went and took a long shower to get it off my skin before returning to finish the job. I was pleased with how well the methanol cleaned the inside of the lens. The weekend before I had sanded and polished the outside of the lens. It was significantly better and usable, but it still had a very slight fog look to it. Helpful hint if raising the headlight above your head while cleaning this way keep your index finger in the parking lamp hole to plug it.
