Try using a blowdryer. It's easier to work with when it's hot and use some soapy water.

Apply while slightly stretching around the curves and then use a credit card to move the air/water bubbles out.

Hope that helps.

man i messed up twice on these... the small ones are easy... but the big ones are nasty to do unless u really stretch them out good, or bring it to a tint shop... they should be able to do them...

I would of just brought them to a tint shop. Be careful some places won't do it for you. They don't want the liability of tinting lights.

I have some of these for my fog lights and have been putting off the install b/c it seems a little daunting. I am this close to going to a tint shop so i dont get air bubbles

Andrew@ET · 05-11-2008, 06:58 PM

you neeed hair dryer and a spray bottle with a soap water mix.. heat and strech it over and squeegee . not that hard when its heated..

btw it wil not curve if not heated so dont try it.
