My FR-S gets delivered in a few days and I'd love to do this first thing. Your work looks great... keep up the good work!

You bake to soften adhesive. I went 200 degrees for 15 minutes on a cookie sheet. You can also use a heat gun which is what I did when opening them for the second time to realign the LED's. I used the side emitting LED's from The Retrofit Source, 2 pairs and cut them down. At the bottom of page 1 you can see where I mounted them. I am probably going to redo them again to get them perfect. I think if you undermount them like I did you will need to keep them about 1/2" back from the lip for perfection. Mine get some weird reflections since the lens has a black bottom but I've nearly got it perfected for everyones reference. Someone needs to be the Guinea Pig right?
