I wanted to add a yellow vinyl film. So I ran a test and it looked cool. So I peeled the film off and proceeded to clean it with rubbing alcohol so I could properly add the film. As soon as the alcohol touched the projector lens (it wasn't hot at all, I had eaten lunch before restarting project) it cracked the lens. And continued to spider out.

I looked it up later and found out that it's a big no-no on projector beams made out of plastic (I thought it was glass).

The beam part is not available separately so brand new, it's a $1000 part. The headlight is still functional. But it is an expensive lesson learned.
