## Abstract

A magnetic light panel system having a light panel with a light source that can be connected to a power source and thus illuminated, and further having a handle. The light panel and the handle may each be provided with magnets such that the light panel and the handle can be magnetically associated with each other from opposite sides of a window or windshield. The panel may be manipulated or adjusted by a user on a vehicle exterior while the light panel remains on the vehicle interior, and the light panel may provide light to the user such that the borders and edges along a window or windshield can be more easily seen. Additionally, the panel may be provided with a guideline having a zigzag or jagged shape along the border to provide the user with a reference point or measurement point.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A magnetic light panel system comprising:
a light panel having a first magnet, wherein the light panel is adapted to illuminate when connected to a power source, and wherein the light panel can be cut and adjusted to different sizes;
a handle having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and a second magnet embodied within the handle such that a most outer edge of the magnet is flush with the bottom surface or above the bottom surface;
wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are adapted to be attracted to each other; and
wherein the light panel and the handle are adapted to be magnetically associated with each other from opposite sides of a vehicle windshield, while the light panel and the bottom surface of the handle are simultaneously sliding along the windshield.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 1, wherein the light panel is an electroluminescent panel.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 1, wherein the light panel further comprises a guideline, the guideline being a zigzag line around an exterior edge of the light panel.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 1, wherein the light panel is adapted to be connected to the power source by a power cord.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 4, wherein the power cord is adapted to plug into a car cigarette lighter outlet.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 1, wherein the handle has a soft material layer on the bottom surface.

### Claim 7

A method of applying a tint to a vehicle's window comprising the steps of:
receiving a magnetic light panel system having a light panel with a first magnet, a corresponding handle with a second magnet, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are adapted to be attracted to each other;
applying a tinting film over the vehicle's window;
placing the light panel on an interior side of the vehicle's window;
placing the corresponding handle on an exterior side of the vehicle's window;
illuminating a car windshield with the magnetic light panel system;
adjusting the light panel of magnetic light panel system around an exterior edge of the vehicle's window; and
trimming the tinting film along the exterior edge of the vehicle's window.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the light panel is powered by plugging a power cord into a vehicle.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the light panel is formed by cutting the panel into a selected shape.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the handle and light panel are adjusted by the user moving the handle and the attached panel around an exterior edge of the vehicle's window.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the light panel is gliding across the interior side of the vehicle's window.

### Claim 12

A magnetic light panel system comprising:
a light panel having a first magnet and a top surface, the top surface having a guideline, wherein the light panel is adapted to illuminate when connected to a power source;
a handle, the handle having a second magnet;
wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are adapted to be attracted to each other; and
wherein the light panel and the handle are adapted to be magnetically associated with each other from opposite sides of a vehicle windshield, while the light panel and the handle are simultaneously sliding along the windshield.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 12, wherein the light panel is adapted to have a battery pack as the power source.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 12, wherein the handle has a soft fabric cover.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 12, wherein the guideline is a jagged shape along an exterior edge of the light panel.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The magnetic light panel system of claim 12, wherein the handle is on an exterior side of the vehicle's windshield and the light panel is on an interior side of the vehicle's windshield.
