Lamin x wrote:TO INSTALL:Small sized applications may be applied dry and medium to large light installations may be applied wet for best results.

First, Clean lens thoroughly. Then peel backing off of film (prevent the film from touching any foreign surfaces). Wet application: spray a very light mist of water onto lens (one or two sweeping sprays from 10-12 inchs away is sufficient). Then align and apply film to one side or center of the light or area. Then using a plastic application card, press down/sweep the remainder of the film across the light. If large bubbles are present or film is misaligned, peel up the film to that area and apply again. If film is not precut then use an X-acto knife, triangular pointed knife, or razor blade to trim off the excess film. If product is precut then remove the handling tabs.

SETTLING:Small air bubbles and creases/ripples will disappear over time as the film settles and is warmed. Minor scratches will also disappear over time and after film maintenance by waxing or applying 303 vinyl conditioner.

I have some 3M lens film that I put on my driving lights that I have been dying to put on my headlights, but I am worried about cops. I know that here is Texas, it is illegal to have yellow lights (my old boss used to be a cop). Meh. I am about to move to Dallas. They have more important things to worry about.

Can't wait to see night pics.

You should have got the H4 conversion housings(if you don't have them) and pick up some yellow tinted HID bulbs It'd go nicely with it.

if you get yellow bulbs, all you have to do is put the old ones back in....and plus, just be like ehhh it's a 17 year old car, these are how the headlights are supposed to look.
