ok. first, you don't wanna dye your lights, so you gotta take them out.

take a razor blade knife or something sharp and cut the mushroom tops (circled in red) between the black and the top.



then do the same thing for the pocket, again, circled in red in the above picture.

those will just pop out and.

go into the kitchen, shop, etc. and find a bottle of dawn dish detergent.


wash it really good and then dry it.

take it outside and use your dye. i chose the duplicolor for now.


the color i chose is charcoal.

i put a couple of light coats and a couple of heavy coats after that and it turned out really good.
