You only need to cut the section to the right...Don't cut the section to the left...I used a sheath knife and heated it up..

Dont use caps
Use a dremel multi-max tool for this, you will cut that stuff in less than 1 minute

The method I recommend is the hammer pound method that John has shared with me. I'll take a picture of the tool that I use when I get home, but basically it's a flat sharp object that slices through easily with some hammer time.
It's actually rather daunting if you don't have experience doing it (this way). I haven't done many eyebrow mods recently, but all the guys I have done this for using this method (and my way of sealing) have not experienced condensation issue.

Well, it sounds like your friend is doing the soldering work, so just remind him to mark the corner so the LEDs will be correctly positioned.
Obviously you would want to test it first before sealing it.

Hey just to keep you guys in the picture, still not got them done, my friend had a second go at changing position of the leds but none of them are working?? how can i know which way to position the bulbs by looking. or how do i test them? seen lots of testing leds on youtube but they are all mostly 2 pin and not 4 pin! do they work simmilar to christmas tree lights that when one is not positioned correctly the power wont pass to the next diode? feel bad on my friend as its turning into a pain in the ass for him as he is extremley busy, worst thing is i stay in scotland where its always cold and wet so moisture is going to be a pain but saw a few posts about dryin that out! your help so far has been appreciated!!! please help!!!! cheers again Kris
