I will be updating the list in the first post as it goes along. Just say I'm in and you will be added. No need to keep pasting the list. I'll make it easy for everyone too!

I am interested in watching how this goes. I watched in horror with the Top Hat episode. I wish you luck.
1. Can you dive into the installation of the lenses a little more. I have taken my lights apart and no cutting was needed so I am a little unclear of what you need to cut
2. what type of material are we talking about? Is this OEM thick?

So its not a direct swap?

Exactly how much of that edging in the pics is the factory front lense?
Does the buyer need to cut the whole circumference off of their factory front lenses, and then need to glue them to the front lense that you supply, and then from there glue that on top of the housing? (Or do you supply exactly what is seen in these last pics including clips?)
I wonder, do you even really need to remove the factory lense from the housing? It looks like you could just cut up the factory lense, and directly put this lense on, avoiding the oven method all together

Ultimately you are cutting off the front of the factory lens, along a pronounced edge already built in to the OEM lens with a trusty dremel and cutoff wheel. The whole process should not take too long if you are at least somewhat handy with a dremel. Once the lens has been cut out you will be able to install the lens I supply right over and seal. This retains the factor clips and all the inner working of how the lens return works. Also, it allows someone who does not want to oven bake their lights to install this lens with ease.
Once these are available to the public I will have a very detailed write up.
The lens is right around 1/8" thick acrylic that is made for uses like this.

what kind of time frame are we looking at for these lenses? I'm just really impatient and really want these. Thanks for answering all of our questions so promptly though.
