laser(infrared) abosrbing film maybe?

this film looks promising :P

I just did some tests with the film against my bathroom mirror and using a remote control to see how much it dropped the reflection of the IR, if i went about 3 feet from the mirror you could almost not see the IR reflect anymore while on the side with no film it was still easily visible.

I want some of that film!!!

I applied some film to one of the corner reflectors on the car. The left one in the picture has the film the one on the right does not.

WOAH! That is awesome. What did you use to apply the film? This is a game changer any chance i can get a hold of this stuff?

FYI: this film is a ***** to bend around contoured surfaces. If I do decide to use it I will have to come up with someway to make it bend. I might have to go to fairly high heat to get it to work with me.

You guys will have to wait for more real world testing to see if this film is even a viable alternative.

EDIT: I got it to look fairly decent (with lots of creases) but I am not a professional tint installer. If I spent more than 3 minutes on it I might have done a better job but I am more interested in it for testing not looks. So if you want to use a film on your lights I highly recommend professional installation, this is not a DIY project.

easy, cheasy test... see how far away your remote works on your TV, then put the film over the sensor on the TV and test again.

I'm mainly interested in using this film to cover my plates. I need all the help I can get there.. :P

here they are take them for what they are. I am still working on different projects regarding the IR absorbing materials. That is all that I can say for now.
