Default lexan forming question

Hi, I need to form a piece of transparent plastic for navigation light in the tip of the wing. Being an ARF, the wing is already covered and I'm afraid to apply too much heat (that would ruin the covering underneath the plastic being formed)

The only solution I've came up with would be to cut out the triangular piece in the wing tip balsa bloc and try to form the plastic on the small cut out piece, but it seems tedious. It would be much easier to form the palstic piece before cutting out the wing tip.

Is there a solution ? Has anyone done this with success?

Thanks,
V.
