Interchangeable Lenses for helmet?

[bluehickey]

The welders shield lens material I have hot glued into my helmet is sooooo dark that I am very hesitant to wear my costume to a parade coming up that takes place outdoors, at night, that we have to walk (no float to stand on). I know that I won't be able to see a thing.

 

I was thinking it would be nice to have a lighter shade of lens material that I could swap out for troops like this. Can anyone think of a creative way that this would work? I don't really want to have two different helmets just so I can have different shades of lenses.

you could run velcro on the inside and cut a bigger lens and attach velcro to the different lens, then swap them out. I do that with my Mando bucket because I switch out a chrome lens with a red one depending on what kit I will be using

Sorry if this is thread-romancy

I'm in the process of working on a TB for the wife (with a *LOT* of help from the Everglades squad, Florida Garrison) and saw this thread and thought...why not use rare earth magnets inside the bucket and on the opposite side of the lens?
