I can see the light

micro-edge · February 11, 2011

Ok so this is my tip for the week, take it as you may..I always have issues cutting the bottom of the backglass with darker films cause i can never get my light situated right so normally i would put a box or something in the backseat to sit my light on so i could get it high enough to shine on the bottom of the window to be able to see where im cutting..

Well it never is setting like i want it and i remembered someone mentioning trying a shower curtain rod and tighten it between the B pillars, well i'll be dayumn it works like a charm!! I got a rod that screws out to tighten, not spring loaded and i used a metal coat hanger for a hook to put my light on and you can slide the light anywhere down the rod to adjust for whichever side of the window you're cutting if needed..I just started using it but so far it's worked well on every vehicle i've tried it on :beer

When I did auto, if I had that situation, I would put my light on the rear shelf and turn the lights off in the shop. Worked like a charm.

This type light doesnt fit most shelfs unless you took off stand and these lights get hot so id be leary of how i set it on the deck myself without the stand..
