Would it be better if the mask was stuck to the actual window lens, rather than to the LED lens I wonder? Although it was taken in daylight and at night it might look a whole lot better.

PS: I'm wondering whether to remove about 100mm from either end of the black mask so that the LEDs shine through, what do you think?
Hi, Its not going to make a difference by putting it on the outside, the problem is with the design of the light itself, the light source for it is supplied by 6 small RED leds, which are all grouped tightly together in the very centre and is transrered to the ends of the lens via a CLEAR perspex bar, this is why we are getting a very bright spot of light in the middle and then fades out to nothing at the ends, but I am looking at sticking some RED translucent film between the light source and the lens, or could be applied to the lens itself BEFORE applying the graphic, I will keep you posted as to how I get on..As for removing some of the mask I wouldnt , as there is hardly any light to be seen at the ends of the lens.
