Facts gang that’s what made me include it because I couldn’t find someone who had did it too

It’s easier than people think just time consuming. Thanks 🤝 just trying to make good content

I’m already onto inserting the fiber optics and organizing the strands👀 wish me luck

@@nozy6963 oh yea you got it just take your time

​@DRETV_707 n thats why the ppl that charge to do this will still make $ some ppl would rather pay than use they're time. Worlds a crazy place, love the content.

Appreciate it gang 🤝🤝

Yeesss ssiirrrr we locked in 🤝🤝🤝

Glad it helped!

Appreciate it 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks I really appreciate the feedback

You got to make it work the best way you can😭😭😭😭😭

Ok I will have to make one the video was already long I was trying to keep it short

Thanks for the feedback and yea I realize to late that I did it backwards so I just had to rock with it. You will do good just take your time and follow the steps and make it better than mine

No it doesn’t mess with it when you wire the fiber pics from the sunroof back in the car you just have to run the fiber optics where it has enough room to move with the sunroof

Glad I could help

Appreciate it you can really do any image you just have to plan it out

a.co/d/2jVMAGK It’s a 20watt RBGW kit with dual heads and thanks she was a big help

Appreciate it I was looking for a guide or a video never found one so I had to make one

Yes, should of reversed the logo.

Yea I can do that thanks I hadn’t thought about it

​@@DRETV_707Great how to video! Yeah, I'm curious on your thoughts after some time has gone by----- especially that sunshade: how often you open and close the sun shade, how much resistance you feel when opening/closing it (as those ~240 fiber strands have to move with the sun shade where you routed and gathered up those individual fiber strands of it's surface...) and if you've found that any of those shade strands have started to work loose from where the come out of their "star" holes inside the cab 😊 Also: I noticed you purchased the pushpins to make the star holes but seem to have ended up using a drill: did you ever have moments when drilling any particular hole that the upholstery on other side caught or gathered up (started twisting around drill bit)? Lol, I'm 70% through an install on a '01 new beetle with sunroof and like you------ I've learned planning it out first, attacking the work in sections, only doing so much on any given day is important to keep your sanity & methodically making progress! Great job and do let us know your thoughts on the install after these 9 months have gone by...... I didn't see a follow up video but will look again just in case I missed your post. Thanks for sharing your experience and tips 👏

@@andrewpelletier1199 so I have not had any problems with the sunroof and I constantly have it open that’s why I used a hot glue gun to hold the strands down. Also that’s why I tinted the sunroof. And yes I switched to a drill because my hands were cramping up and it was taking to long to push through the suede I put on the headliner. Yes you have to be careful not to twist up the headliner material. What I ran into was the backing of the material would get stuck around the bit but all I had to do was keep cleaning the material off the bit that I was good. You definitely have to take breaks or you will want to rush than mess up but the end product will be well worth it and will save a lot of money in your pockets

@@DRETV_707 Thank you. Yes, it's definitely not something to rush. On my beetle, I had to make the difficult choice of working from the light box which I hid within the rear side panel and routing each fiber group I created from the larger supply conduit. There were points as I stared at the sheer amount of octopus cabling that I was always going between pressing on trusting my process and....despair because every turn seemed like I had yet another mountain. That choice to route from the source and through the metal frame of vehicle meant I'm still going to be installing fibers with the headliner IN vehicle, dropped down about a foot from sunroof frame. I couldn't see a way to work back from the headliner and still fit the grouped fiber bundles through and into a place where you couldn't see the box or the tie in🤠👍 the new beetle only had about 1/2-3/4 inch vertical gap between headliner surface where fibers are glued down to the plane of the sunroof frame where I had to clear the sunshade path. There's no room for fibers on the sunshade I'm now accepting because the back portion of roof is so cramped. I think it could be pulled off, but after the experience of getting this far it's clear to me the more cramped those supply side fiber bundles have to be (feeding the sunshade) the more the back and forth movement of sunshade will likely find my sunshade slowly working the fiber ends loose over time. As the loosen because the bug has very little gap between sunshade and actual moving glass piece, this strands will likely catch that glass down road. Looking at your install and others, I'm envious of how much room is within the headliner to sunroof frame components! The beetle sunshades are notorious for binding up in their bracket sliders if their even slightly skewed and I've concluded I will not be installing lights in that shade. I'll be happy I pulled a led fiber install off in a beetle. I could still crash and burn though as I'm not sure if I'll be able to reach up and into the lowered headliner as I route and place individual fibers with headliner in vehicle. At this point it's a personal challenge and an upgrade. We'll see! 🙈

@@andrewpelletier1199 oh yea you definitely have to send me some videos on ig when your done. Just take your time and I know you will get thru it. Trust me if I can do it you can to

I did if you go to about 33:30 on the video you will see I drill right through it

You have to make sure when you putting the fibers in they lay down and you pull them to one side you will see in my video I had them going all the same way

Are you on Instagram? If so give me a call and I will help explain everything

@@DRETV_707i was wondering the same thing what’s your instagram family ?

Yea I didn’t even think about it until it was to late but it’s all good we live and learn.

I explain in the video in detail how you do the sunroof and yes i can still open it

I already know gang that’s why I made this video to put yall on game

@@DRETV_707 i got my wite to short haf to send back and get longer one 9 ft to short

Thanks I ain’t gone lie it’s a lot to do man we had a lot of long nights and my back hurting

I think he should of reversed that photo so the SRT would be better but other than that it’s A1

Oh yea I know for next time we all make mistakes

Appreciate it gang 🤝🤝

Appreciate it gang check some other videos out and let me know what you think

@@DRETV_707 will do!

Appreciate it

I explain in the video you have to disconnect the lights from the main fiber count than reinstall in the car at the end

Yes you want to leave enough slack so when the sunroof moves back and forth the fibers don’t get pulled out.

I said the same thing. Like I need the hard wire install info that and the box location when he reinstalled the liner.

I would say I the best kits have 20 watts and up and check to make sure they have all the features like twinkle and they have all the colors believe it or not they all don’t do the same thing

Perfect thank brother I appreciate you 🤝🏼 one last thing I’m planning on getting 1000- 1200 fibers would like to have Twinkle and meteor not sure if the others are worth it, I have a 2023 gmc 1500 crew cab would a 20w engine be sufficient or should I just go with a 30w? Please and thank you 👍🏼

@@johnpaul4647 20w is definitely enough but why not go with the best and brightest you can also a tip that if you want them to show good don’t cut them flush with the headliner let them hang out just a hair. If you skip to the part where I started cutting them in the car you will see the difference

🙏🏼🤝🏼

I tinted my sunroof

Glad it was helpful!

Yea I realized to late and this was my first time doing it so I won’t make that same mistake again

Yea I realized after I had already made the holes.

I know you frustrated the tabs on the sunroof cover are tough but you have to work them in little by little and keep sliding it forward as you work them in

@@DRETV_707 should I try and unscrew the other side I feel like there’s not enough room for the tab

@zainswan9742 I unscrewed the back two and the side two screws and it was enough room for me to force it back it. Word of advise you can’t be gentle with this step it took some force

I got the suede from fashionfabricla. www.fashionfabricla.com/products/crimson-red-luxury-stretch-suede-headliner-fabric

I tinted my sunroof so it doesn’t hurt it

​@@DRETV_707I bet at night seeing all the fiber strands from that sunroof on the outside must put on quite a cool show!

@@andrewpelletier1199 you really can’t see it because I tinted my sun roof

Do you have a sunroof? I would say the kit I got would be perfect you can always focus the stars in more areas where you know people are going to see

No sunroof, and thanks brother 👍🏼

Oh yea no problem

It’s not necessarily bad it’s just easier to work with and keep count. It makes it easier to control when you putting it back in the car as well

We no issues the only thing is it’s hard to get the sunroof cover back in so just take your time and make sure you get both side evenly back on the track. If not that’s gone make it hard to slide

No wire hang ups. Just make sure you measure in the car for how long you need to make the wires for the light box

@@DRETV_707 thanks!

Did you use a separate module for the sunroof? Or is it all connected to one module with the headliner?

@@jessvega3255 No it’s one module. You do have to separate the fiber optics from the main fiber count. So when you go to reinstall the sunroof cover you run those strands back into the main fiber optic strand

Just make sure you get the right one for your car. MuHize 4 Types 12V Add-a-Circuit Adapter and Fuse Kit - Fuse Tap Fuse Holder with MICRO2 Mini ATC ATS Low Profile Tap dapter for Cars Trucks Boats (12 Pack) a.co/d/fXsLYzg

I actually used an off road light wiring harness that connects to the battery

I think it took around 330 strands of I remember correctly.

@@DRETV_707 Good to know! Always seems they took more then I think ha ha. I got the exact same kit too

Yea you just have to plan it out and have help because when you get tired you start to mess up

@@DRETV_707 Sounds good, man. Appreciate the info

@@DRETV_707 using the 1/16th drill bit, did you have any issues with the glue leaking thru at all? I would think it shouldn’t be an issue

I explain everything in the video

Yea I am it opens and closes like normal

If it has a slide shade I’m pretty sure you can you just have to have the fiber optic wires able to move with the shade and not get caught on anything

Yes it does

I connected it srt8 to the battery

Appreciate it gang 💯💯💪🏿💪🏿

I added it in the description

What 3 rd wire are you talking about no about

I looked up online in images for free vectors of the hellcat logo than took it to a Walgreens or a Walmart to print it on photo paper so I could drill holes and the paper won’t rip apart

What do you mean? Explain please

a.co/d/5nBWrjS

Naw you don’t have to remove the glass I explain in the video how I took my cover off

@@DRETV_707when you push back the sunroof cover, won’t the fiber optic lights tangle or be visible when u open up the sunroof?

No so two things one when you open your sunroof the glass comes down a lil bit and catches the back lip of the sunroof cover and that’s how the cover moves back automatically. Second when I pull my cover back with the sunroof closed it moves freely because if you go look at the part where I did the cover I pulled everything to one cover and routes the fiber optics to where it moves freely behind the lip of the sunroof

Here is a link to the kit i used a.co/d/hMhlPSi. You just have to pick which one you want

How big you make the logo depends off of how many fibers is in your fiber kit. For example just my logo alone took over 300 stars. So the smaller you make it the less stars

Gotcha.. do you remember what size you did yours ? Trying to stay in that 300 - 500 fibers

So I can answer your question correctly. What do you mean specifically? Like how did I wrap it? Or how did I take it out? Or how did I put the lights on the sunroof cover?

I just re-watched that part of the video again it makes sense now. But since installation have you had any water problems with putting stars in the sunroof?

No I haven’t just make sure you tighten the bolts down on the sunroof bracket

@@DRETV_707 bruh... you can say whatever you want, it doesn't change the fact you messed up and still you dared to upload it. So chug it up.

@@rodieselpower ok cool

@@rodieselpowerstfu

​@@rodieselpower😂 Always that one jerk who ends up revealing more about themselves than about whoever their comments were aimed at. Maybe don't drink and binge watch KZfaq videos AND THEN comment in ways that seem meant to tear down the ones making the effort to share their lessons and experiences so others can build on what they've given us!? Since you were intoxicated you aren't aware you missed that part in video where he talks about making sure your orient a picture/logo so you consider where you'll be viewing it from.... and so avoid the flipping effect? I and many others here appreciate his efforts to share his wins and the occasional oversight we ALL end up having to soldier through simply because we're all human: a mistake here or there is part of the territory. Especially, when you take on projects that are complex and involve a lot of time and patience. You're comment in the end mostly reveals you to be the kind of person who nitpicks YOURSELF to death and so perhaps you never take on projects where a mistake or even failure is a possibility... Don't live that way friend. You won't grow up into your true potential! 🍻 So lighten up, realize the important thing isn't we avoid mistakes but rather we are able to shoulder them, see the larger win in the overall picture of what we accomplished and LEARN THE LESSONS. No one ever need feel "bad" to "dare" to upload a video of their experience which shows a mistake or two but rather just have the courage and the wider view that doing so..... Shows each of us CAN DO any given project even if imperfectly. So my advice, is don't be so hard on YOURSELF: None of us are perfect but for those maybe like you, who wait until they "feel perfect" before they start on tackling any but the simplest of projects, mistakes are part of getting into the game. It's the wrong thing to focus on. No matter how many times you measure, at some point we all end up making that bad cut. It's OK. What's not ok is giving up before you even start, or beating yourself up because something didn't go as you planned. And your comment implies you might be this sort of person. If you're not making mistakes on YOUR PROJECTS, it's probably because your taking on teany weany ones: get in there and tackle a project big enough so you'll LEARN something, you'll TEST your skills so they GROW and develop the COURAGE and PERSPECTIVE to share them so others can WIN along with you. And, maybe think twice before "crafting" that insensitive comment while you chug your craft beer. You'll feel better talking that way to others who have freely shared their knowledge with you. Don't be the dog who bites the hand..... of the one who thought well enough to feed you 😊

@@DRETV_707I’ve been pressing vinyl on shirts for a couple years now. Learned my lesson about mirroring images 😂

@@burlahoe facts but I know better next time

No what I mean is you have to take the fiber optics you use for the sunroof out of the main fiber connection. You have to install them on the sunroof than reinstall the sunroof cover in the car. Than route those fibers back into the main motor for the fiber optics
