I bought a kato buisness car lighting kit for my buisness car, and can’t figure out how to install it. there are two glass “windows” that the light travels along, but they don’t fit into the car? Has anyone else installed one of these kits and can guide me through it?

You need to break off the ends of the light bar.

What do i do about the silver strips? 1. if you overlap them 10mm where the light is you still have too much on the rear of the car. Do you cut that with a scissors? 2. Are the strips suppose to fit inside the slot, so they would be against the roof section, or are they suppose to cover the slot?

If this is the HO version, it’s a chuntz unit in comparison to the Budd bars. The voltage recommendation is not to exceed 12 volts.

It’s been a long time since I did it I can’t remember.
