Simple Amber Coating for Bright LED Porch Light

Tabaz

I never use my outside porch light because it is way too bright and draws bugs.



Found this film on Amazon for $7.55:

The film is fairly transparent, so you may want to use two or three pieces on top of each other (I used three).  Be aware that there is a clear film on top of the colored film as well as a backing on the other glued side.  You will need to remove both.  A fresh X-Acto knife is a must.  Cut a piece of light cardboard to 7/8" x 5 7/8."  Use the cardboard as a template to cut a piece to fit - however, leave an extra inch on one of the long sides because it is almost impossible to use the knife to separate the clear film on top or backing on the bottom.  Simply "rough up" the end with the extra inch to separate the clear and backing films with the knife.  Once both films are removed, start at the "good" end and place over the stock lens.  Once on, cut the "bad end" off with the knife.  Repeat the process for how many layers you wish.

After almost ten years of use, my "T@B" emblem under the porch light was really faded.  It is easily removed with a plastic putty knife.  Clean the remaining adhesive with Goof-Off and sand off the old silver paint.  Use a very thin double-sided tape (3M 300LSE).  Cut the tape into several small pieces and place on the back of the emblem so as not to show once installed.

YES, I know why you changed it. - NuCamp got the message and put and yellow/orange porch light on my 2019 320. It's easy to see an night

Turn signal repair tape does the same thing. It may be found at your local auto parts store.

I use yellow electrical tape, but all the above are improvements over what NuCamp had installed on our (2019 - 2018 Mfg'd) Tab.

I wish I would have known about the turn signal repair tape.  Putting on three layers of this stuff was a little too labor-intensive.

I covered the lens on mine with two layers of red gel paper. No bugs and works in dark sky parks.
