Looks good. Next set you do make sure to paint the outside edges where the grey backing can be seen.

dumb question...can you not bake them in the oven and remove the lens that way rather than cut the housing open?

regardless - nice job!

You can not bake them. They're sonic welded together

I would almost rather cut at a 90 angle to the lenses for a cleaner seal when you throw them back together.
