The higher and brighter the CHMSL, the more effective it will be. The twins are small, low cars, and you would like this brake light to be visible to the driver of the vehicle BEHIND the vehicle behind you!
My thoughts on the CDC install would be to position it and mark edges on glass with painters tape or similar. Use those lines as guide to carefully install new 3M tape directly to glass and cure with heat gun. Tint should butt up against edges of this 3M tape and not interfere with adhesion of tape OR visibility of the LED strip. Now install CDC unit (original tape removed) and cure again with heat gun - but at much lower temp, say 200F. The tape joint against the glass is VERY obvious, and unless it is uniformly contacting the glass it will look Mickey mouse. Last edited by tarzan_nojane; 06-01-2019 at 03:04 AM.

None on my cdc. They appear to be use genuine 3M tape, which means it could be stuck to the side of a sand building the desert and not have a problem
