I doubt the headlight sealant would be strong enough to hold the mesh. Personally I'd reccomend quick setting epoxy to hold the mesh. Oh also, if you do a search you can find some good instructions on meshing the fog holes from Nate, but I would reccomend using a dremel to cut out the fog holes. I was using a razor blade for awhile, but after awhile I got tired/careless and it slipped and I accidently stabbed myself with the razor blade. :o Soo I got out the dremmel and finished that way, MUCH quicker then a blade.
