The first thing I did was to create a circular ring out of it.
I measured the diameter of my high-beam projector housing, which comes out to be 4" (or 2" radius).
Using the circular formula (C=2'pi'r, where pi=3.14), you'll have to cut your rod about 12.5 inches long.
I suggest cutting it 15" long, and use the extra inches as handles to help in the molding process.
Next, I find an aluminum can or jar that has about the same diameter as the ring (I used a peanut jar).
After heating the rod in a small toaster oven for about 5-7 minutes at 300°F,
I held the two ends of the now flexible rod with a pair of pliers,
and wrapped them around the peanut jar with one end crossing over the other end.
For better control, you can wear your winter gloves or use your socks.
The flexible rod will harden within a minute. So, you may have to repeat this step 1 more time to mold it into a perfect circular ring.
Once done, you can use a Dremel tool to cut the extra handles that were used during the molding process.
You will end up with one end above the other, as shown.
Don't worry, later when you wrap electrical tape around the rod to hide the LED bulbs, the two open ends will realign themselves.
If you like to be perfect, you can simply put it back in the oven one last time and allow the ends to soften and flatten.
