^ Nice. I'll probably be just slightly tinting these.

Won't vinyl not be transparent enough?

It would be a little pricey because of the level of difficulty.

I have the info.
Id love some more info. Mainly what LEDs (strips? board?) you used and what you used to reattach the lense. I sent you a PM btw.

Thanks for the comment.

That Sam Adams Oktoberfest is a good one.

They have it on tap at this local wing place.

Pretty damn tasty.

I'll see if I can get the info.

I didn't order the materials.

A friend of mine did and he helped me with the install.

Well a buddy of mine just bought some of the pre-cut tint.

aznboi2424 He has some for sale in the BM I think.

I think he accidentally ordered the wrong one (%tint).

R-vinyl, the company that im using, suggested using a blow dryer or heat gun. but i think you need special tint not window tint.

I don't have the info on hand because my friend is the LED expert.

He ordered them from someplace in the Bay Area.

I'll get the info. but now he's out of the country on vacation.

They are a flat strip...not sealed that has little exposed LED's you can bend up or flat.

They are not sealed in a casing like something you would find on eBay.

I should have grabbed a sample while I had it...
