Didn't take too long, mirror chrome sticky vinyl. Have to wait and see regarding beam pattern and longevity.

Would be interested in before and afters of the light output and beam pattern. Looks great cosmetically though!

Yes, -30c to +150c, so time will tell, remember this is just a test, been on for 24hrs so far and so far so good, but I must say it's nice to go out in the dark and see where the f##k I'm going, but like I say, it's only been 24hs.
