Bit more figured out -


How have you got the ring in there without cracking the lenses?!

Very kind words! 
Wow - you broke your back. Jeez.  Makes my injury seem very inconsequential indeed. 
I'm pretty stoic about it  - there's only really 2 ways to get through this kind of thing; the easy way is to make light of it, be good to ones self, family and friends and believe how lucky we are to be making a recovery.  The hard way is to become morose and depressed which doesn't help the healing process. I believe its a choice.  I've had amazing care in hospital,  I respect the NHS more than ever and firmly believe I'll get back to my old self soon. I aim to be better and fitter than my old self in fact!
Thanks again. Looking forward to your next instalment!

My little secret for the moment - I have opened them up but not by taking the lense off. Need to make sure all fits back safely before passing the method on  :happy2:

Mate, an injury is an injury. You've got the right idea - positivity and friends & family support is the best way to get you through  :smiley:

Out of space on my phone so uploaded everything new so far to YouTube. As before all done on my phone so not the best viewing experience but you get the drift -

New separation method where splitting of the lense is not needed -

Part two, general prep -

Part three, securing the rings -


More to come, like how to re wire it to have full circle brake lights, inner lense brake lights and inner lense center indication

They are sold as yellow, orange or amber rings but all the same. Search for yellow rings on eBay and more come up
