Have you ever wished you could go incognito while using your smart glasses? A car customization company in Atlanta is turning heads with a product that claims to do just that, but it might not be what you think!

Luxe Wrap Stars, a company known for its car vinyl wraps, has launched an intriguing item on TikTok Shop called “Luxe GhostDots 4 Meta Glasses.” These aren’t just any stickers; they're vinyl dots designed to cover the bright recording indicator light on Meta’s smart glasses. In a video that’s racked up over 2 million views, a man demonstrates how these dots can help you achieve a more discreet experience while using your glasses. “Have a pair of Meta glasses and you want to get rid of this indicator, right here?” he asks, pointing to the glaring light. His promise? A stealthy solution.

Each set of these so-called “ghost dots” sells for around $15 and comes with 20 precision-cut circular stickers. The product description on TikTok Shop doesn’t hold back, stating, “Block or dim that bright white recording light with these precision-cut vinyl dots.” But here’s where things get complicated. The indicator light is there for a reason: it signals when the glasses are recording. If you manage to block the light, you’ll get a message that declares photo and video capabilities are disabled. This safeguard is a protective measure by Meta that some users have been trying to circumvent in various ways, including drilling into their glasses!

So, what’s the verdict? Does this clever little product actually work? While the TikTok seller provides instructional videos on how to use the stickers effectively, user reviews on TikTok Shop tell a different story. Many customers report disappointment, claiming the stickers don’t function as advertised. “Was so excited for these, but the Meta glasses won’t work with this. Continue to say they’re blocking … great idea, though,” lamented one verified buyer.

In light of the negative feedback, the seller didn’t shy away from addressing the issues. In a recent response to criticism, they suggested buyers try alternative methods to get around Meta’s protective measures. “With the new update, instead of covering only the camera lens to bypass the alert, you have to cover the frame that the camera lens side is on,” they advised. But will these new tactics prove effective, or will they leave users in the dark?
