I would like to put a cheater lens in my auto darkening helmet. however, when I look inside it, there's no way that I can see how the lens would be secured in place. I purchased this helmet on ebay last year. do the brand name helmets have this option, or is there a way to make it work in the existing one that I have. Thanks

The helmets typically have an optional "frame" or "cage" to hold the cheater lens. You will need to investigate with your helmet brand's website. If it is an inexpensive helmet, you might have an issue.
You can also measure the lens size, and often find compatible frames/lenses not from you brand that are compatible.

Thanks, will investigate further.
