Follow their instructions for prepping the parts. You may use .015” or thinner clear polystyrene sheet to place behind the grills. Use clear flat acrylic paint or sand paper to diffuse the light.

LED Panel light : if you are using all white to light the cockpit and the rest of interior, peel the white film from the LED Panel and paint it all white. This will reflect the light better below.
