you could basically make the slits all the around.. This guy just cut the ring in half. You could leave it as a full ring if u want.

I've done this before with the same wand. You can also find acrylic circular dowels at tap plastic. Instead of using the oven, I used a heat gun.

Just a tip. Before shrinking the heat shrink run the wires through it. That way when you shrink everything thing you know the wires wont go anywhere.

Great work on the vid!

It didn't say in the vid, but I assume you soldered the wire to the lead right?

Wow! Amazing skills and craftsmanship!

He could probably do that and install it in the taillights of the G35 to make the dual rings (GTR style) tails!
