- How many fiber optics are installed and does the number matter?
- We typically install 700 to 1500 fibers, depending on headliner size and desired effect. More fibers create a denser, more natural starfield, but even distribution and professional placement matter most – a well-executed install looks cohesive regardless of count.
- Do fiber optics require maintenance or replacement?
- Fiber optics do not heat up or wear out in the usual sense – the LED light source lasts tens of thousands of hours. No servicing is needed. Occasional gentle vacuuming of the headliner, as with standard upholstery, is sufficient.
- What is the warranty on installation and does it cover the light source?
- We offer a 12-month warranty on installation. The light source (LED projector) has its own manufacturer warranty – usually 1–2 years. If it fails, replacing the module is straightforward and does not require removing the entire headliner.
- Is the installation reversible? What about the original headliner?
- Installation involves inserting fibers into the headliner – the original upholstery can only be restored by reupholstering.
- Won't the star effect distract the driver at night?
- No. Brightness is adjustable, and we recommend moderate settings while driving. The light is soft and diffused – it does not create glare on the windshield. Many clients use the effect mainly when parked or in a relaxation mode.
