Will it work on your pair?
Ray-Ban Meta is our bread and butter — Wayfarer, Headliner, and Skyler. Oakley Meta HSTN and older Ray-Ban Stories we check pair-by-pair since the light hardware is different. Either way the goal’s the same: get the recording light off so your glasses go back to being glasses. Send a quick pic and we’ll tell you straight.
Why we ask for a pic more than we used to.
Meta’s been pushing back on the mod scene over the last year. Per public reporting, recent batches of Ray-Ban Meta hardware have come with a brighter recording light (roughly 1mm up to 2mm of visible area), a switch from flashing to staying solid while it records, and tamper detection that shuts the camera off if the light looks blocked or dead.
Bottom line: a pair from the original launch and one you grabbed last month can be pretty different animals. So we check the model and firmware on every order before we agree to anything — that’s the whole reason we ask for a pic up front. If yours is current production, expect “send a pic first” to be the norm, not the exception.
And if we can’t get a confident yes from the pic alone, we’ll tell you before you ship or drive over. There’s no “eh, we’ll figure it out when it gets here” on our bench.
What we work on.
Think of these as the starting point before we see a pic. A few borderline models move from “send a pic first” to “supported” or “not serviced” once we get a look at your actual pair.
| Model | Notes | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (original launch) | The first Ray-Ban Meta pair. We know these inside out. | Supported |
| Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (current production) | Newer hardware/firmware can have tamper detection — we just confirm yours first. | Send a pic first |
| Ray-Ban Meta Headliner | Same light setup as the Wayfarer. Same quick fix. | Supported |
| Ray-Ban Meta Headliner (current production) | Same tamper-detection heads-up as the current Wayfarer. | Send a pic first |
| Ray-Ban Meta Skyler | Smaller frame in the Ray-Ban Meta lineup. | Supported |
| Oakley Meta HSTN | Sport frame in the same family. We check yours before committing. | Send a pic first |
| Ray-Ban Stories (original, pre-Meta-branded) | Older platform with different light hardware. Sometimes doable, sometimes not. | Send a pic first |
| Limited / special editions | Transitions, prescription, sport-tinted versions across the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta lines. | Send a pic first |
| Snap Spectacles (all generations) | Different product, different light, different world. Not something we do. | Not serviced |
| Other / unknown smart glasses | Send a pic of the frame and temple and we’ll tell you straight. | Send a pic first |

Compatibility questions
How do I figure out which Ray-Ban Meta model I have?
Easiest way is a pic. Send a shot of the right temple where the recording light sits, plus the inside of the frame if you can — the model name is sometimes printed in there. We can ID it from that.
What if I bought my glasses recently?
Then you’re probably on the current batch, so we’ll want a pic before we commit. We’ll be straight with you about whether tamper detection changes anything for your specific pair.
Are Transitions / prescription lenses a problem?
Nope — the lens type doesn’t change the fix. It just means we handle them a little more carefully, and prescription lenses get extra padding tips if you’re mailing them in. Just mention it in your first email.
What if my model is “not serviced”?
You find that out from the pic, before you pay or ship anything. We don’t take jobs we can’t finish.
Will ByeLED work on other smart glasses?
Maybe — it follows what people actually ask for. If you want a pair done that’s not on the list, shoot us an email and we’ll tell you if it’s on the radar.
Not sure about your pair?
Send one clear pic of the temple. We’ll get back to you within a business day with a yes, a no, or “grab one more of the inside for us.”
