No window in main door ... and I want one

Has anyone added a window to an entrance door that currently has none? Neither one of our 2 entry doors have one and, since there's only one window in the bedroom and it's dark in there, I'd like to add one.

Has anyone done this or had it done? I have no idea what the inside of door is made of so I don't know if it's a realistic project to look into.

Please note - this is not replacing a frosted window for a clear one - this is adding one where there isn't one.

Thanks,

Go to Ross RV Innovations web site. They sell replacement door windows and a complete door window kit that includes everything needed to do an install, window, hardware, trim...the whole thing.
Door is probably a standard metal skinned door with styrofoam insulation.
Folks at Ross could probably give you all the info you need for an install.

Thanks!

I would love to have a window in my front door but there is no way I'm going to do it. I would sure pay to have one put in
