The straight answers, no runaround.

We turn off the little white recording light on your Ray-Ban Meta (and similar smart glasses) so they read as normal eyewear instead of a camera. Everything else — camera, audio, app pairing, Meta AI — keeps working. Just the light goes. It’s a small, deliberate change and it’s permanent.

Mostly so they stop being "the camera guy." That glowing dot basically announces "I’m recording" to the whole room — people tense up and the hangout gets weird. Others just want a cleaner look on the frame, or the blink was bugging them, or it clashes with their shots.

Camera, audio, Meta AI, Bluetooth pairing, the Meta View app, and the hardware buttons all keep working. We do a quick before-and-after check on every pair so we know everything’s good. We can’t promise every single manufacturer feature, future firmware update, or third-party thing — but the core stuff works.

No — treat it as permanent.

Three flat rates: $99 Delaware drop-off, $129 nationwide mail-in (plus return shipping at cost), and $149 Philly meet-up. Need it fast? Rush is +$50 when we’ve got the room. Full breakdown’s on the pricing page.

A quick compatibility check before you pay anything, the actual fix, a before-and-after function check, and either same-day local pickup or shipped right back to you. That’s it — no checklist of busywork, just the light gone and your glasses back.

Nope. The three rates are flat. The only extra is return shipping on mail-ins, quoted at carrier cost before we send them back. Rush is +$50 and totally optional.

The fix itself takes under 30 minutes. If you’re local — Wilmington drop-off or a Philly meet-up — you pop in, we do it while you wait, and you walk out without the light, usually same day. Mailing it in? The fix is just as quick, we just do it the day it lands and ship it right back, so the wait is mostly shipping time each way.

Usually, when we’ve got the room — that’s the whole point of dropping by local. Just mention you need it fast in your first email.

Assume yes. Any physical change to the indicator should be treated as voiding the manufacturer warranty, store return rights, protection plans, accidental-damage coverage, and any insurance that assumes the device is unmodified. We go over this with you up front, in plain English, before any work happens.

Generally yes. What’s actually regulated is what you do with the glasses afterward — recording, wiretapping, and consent laws vary by state and venue.

Most of the US is one-party consent. The notable exceptions include Pennsylvania, Maryland, California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Washington, and a few others. We’re not a legal source — check your state’s current law with an attorney.

Delaware: one-party consent. New Jersey: one-party consent. Pennsylvania: two-party (all-party) consent. Maryland: two-party (all-party) consent. The fix is the same in all four — what changes is your responsibility for lawful use afterward.

Yep, at our discretion. We turn down anything that sounds non-consensual, unlawful, or unsafe, where the ownership story doesn’t add up, or where the glasses show up in a different state than the photos. If we refuse, you get a full refund of anything you prepaid.

Not as part of normal business. We’ll cooperate with a lawful subpoena or law-enforcement request, and we’ll refuse or stop a job if something comes up that points to unlawful use. That’s what the quick screening is for.

Wayfarer, Headliner, and Skyler. We confirm the current production batch per unit before you pay — Meta has reportedly added tamper detection on newer hardware, so we check for that when you send a photo. Full list’s on the compatible models page.

We check it case by case. Mention the exact model in your first email and send a photo of the temple.

Older platform, different light hardware. Sometimes doable, sometimes not — send a pic and we’ll tell you straight.

Not part of the standard service right now. Different product line, different light design.

Send a clear photo of the temple where the recording light sits, plus a shot of the inside of the frame if you can. We’ll ID the model from those and reply.

Send a photo and your city → we confirm it’s a yes and give you the ship-to address → ship it tracked + insured → we do the fix the day it lands → we ship it right back, tracked + insured. The fix itself is quick; the wait is just shipping each way. Full walk-through on the mail-in page.

UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, or USPS Priority Mail with tracking and replacement-value insurance. Skip uninsured first-class mail.

Hard case (the original Ray-Ban Meta case or a rigid substitute), then about 2 inches of foam, bubble, or paper padding on every side inside a sturdy corrugated box. No envelopes, no padded mailers.

Replacement value of the glasses — usually $300–$400 depending on the model. The insurance is on you, but we do require it before we approve a mail-in.

Carrier risk is on you — that’s exactly why we require insurance up front. If a package shows up damaged, opened, or in a different condition than your photos, we pause the job and talk to you before doing anything.

US-only for now. Customs hassle on modified electronics isn’t worth the risk.

Nope — totally independent. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta, Ray-Ban, EssilorLuxottica, Oakley, Facebook, or Instagram. Those brand names just identify the customer-owned glasses we work on.

Email [email protected] or use the order form. That’s the main channel for orders, partner questions, legal stuff, and press. We reply within one business day.

We’re email-first on purpose — it keeps the important stuff (model confirmation, price, what you’re agreeing to) clear and in writing, so nothing gets lost. Quickest way to start is a photo and your city.

We check Oakley Meta and older Ray-Ban Stories case by case. Snap Spectacles aren’t in scope right now. Email us photos and we’ll tell you straight.

Sure. Email a quick description of your story and timeline. Happy to talk on background about the service, the lawful-use screening, and why a real local person beats an anonymous online listing.
