Here is a short video I made of replacing cracked Headlight lenses.

Let me know what you think

Well done.
I was hoping you actually knew how the wire clips go in. They can be a PITA.

They are a little tricky but I figured it out 😁

The clips tend to like to spring out when you're least expecting it. Probably not a bad idea to wear safety glasses when playing with them. I've had one spring across the garage when I was reinstalling.

Also, when complete, it's likely a prudent choice to check the aim of the lights. I know you didn't adjust them, but the whole process with the Mickey Mouse lights on these cars might have jostled something enough to throw off the direction of the beam.

Good work on the video. It's a fiddly job and often the lights do not want to go back into the fender bucket with new gaskets. Now that can be a "fun" job inspiring some new, colourful words that might scare the neighbour's children...
