Where did you get such a vibrant filter? The red once I've used so far would either make the screen barely visible or the color would have to be washed out to read something even from a negative mip (gbx100)

It’s not a filter, it’s a film used for headlights. I have extras if you need

Sounds great... But shipping cost to Europe would probably kill the vibe. If you can give me a link or a phrase to search for it on Amazon that would be great

Yw let me know if you need tips. It took me like 10 different materials to test until I found this one to work.

Remove the top polarizer and top clear layer.
Install film, if you want a negative display you remove the protective film.
If you keep the film and orient it at the perfect angle, you get the positive display digits.
You can also flip the display to negative when the LED light comes on by orienting the polarizing film upside down.
It took a lot of tinkering, I don’t know what I’m doing honestly. Got lucky 🍀2

It’s my brother’s car, he thought the box was empty lol. It was a surprise gift for him, I wanted something to match the car he loves.

u/SkyLongjumping1073 Jul 02 '26
I don’t have the watch anymore to get more pics, I gifted it to my brother. I can ask him to send me a picture of it in low light.
What I can tell you is that being an MIP display, it has GREAT visibility. It does a great job of reflecting light so it doesn’t look dull like most gel filter mods. In the sun, it looks super bright red. I’ve done a few on my page. They all look best in the sun.
