Question Film for your Tail lights?

I just ordered some film for my tail lights & I was wondering if anyone else has used the film? They have it for your fog, head & tail lights..I wouldnt mind doing everything but I want to see how it works before buying the entire kit.

So if you have used it was it easy to install? Any wrinkles like window tint? I surely dont wanna ruin my lights!

You shouldnt ruin your lights, but i would let a tint shop put them on.

If it's Laminx film, it sucks. Don't bother with it - it'll come out okay but sometimes bubbles will form or the edges won't stick. I did it for my M45 and I was very disappointed. I think painting is the way to go on that.

well obviously it wouldnt come out good if you had a clue to as what you were doing

You get bubbles from not using enough water mixed with soap...
Edges wont stick? Try heating them using a hairdryer, and squeegeeing it on better, just my
