It won't burn. But it will get very soft. If it gets too hot, the glue will let go first and the vinyl will slide or come off. If it gets really hot, it could deform.
I'd warm it up slowly. Vinyl is a type of plastic, so if your headlights can take it, the vinyl should.

Of course, get either one hot enough.... they'll burn.

i think the vinyl will shrink if anything. or it may "wrap" to the headlights better.

vinly does burn, but when you bake them keep the temp low, like well under 150 F, otherwise you risk having the vinly wrinkle and/or burn.

i'd take the vinyl off and re-do it after you split your headlights. We use heatguns / hairdriers to remove vinyl graphics here in the shop.

yah the heat gun works excellent. thats what i used on mines, and they can put out a lot of heat so you have to watch if you use that. i am sure anyone who used one knows how hot these badboys get!
