Those are actually holes I think I'm going to put some electrical tape on the back so the blue doesn't shine through

I actually didn't have any acetone so I used a 400 grit sand paper and that worked really well. Then I when over that with some head light polishing compound and a rag then a final cleaning with rubbing alcohol. The holidays are from me being careless when I was cutting the glue away from the overlay

It really wasn't that bad. I think my sandpaper method worked quicker than 2000MTZ acetone method. I finished the whole thing in about 3 hours. The hardest part was recalibrating the speedo. The off road lights where really easy.
