Headlight Corner Tint

[bigbrotherjohn]

Yes, I used the same soapy water that I used to wash the car, I put it on the headlight and both sides of the vinyl, it definitely floated around pretty easily at first. I tried to dry it and get it to stick with the heat gun along the lower edge first and then work upwards from there.

Make sure the water is 100% pure, don't use the same bucket you use anything else for. If there's any grit in the water it will show through the vinyl.

Still haven't done mine, busy weekend. Thanks for all the tips Jeff!

Looks great! But I think it would be a bit better if it covered up a bit less of the headlight.

I'm running HIDs tho. The added vinyl shields the light scatter.

Ah, I see... which HIDs? Do they blind oncoming traffic without the browS?

XenonDepot. They are actually focused well. Without the brows I get flashed from the scatter, yes.

Finally installed my corner tints. Thanks Jeff!!! An FYI that I found pleasantly surprising: In digital photos the corner tints look like a black-out, but on the car in person they look like a dark factory smoke, definitely not black out. I was really really happy with the look after installing. Looks nearly OEM. Plenty of corner bulb illumination visible as well. Definitely recommended. For me it was a great change because the amber reflector really conflicts with the molten orange.

Looks good on black, I went the other way though. I put amber tint over my LED fog lights and my side marker signals on my mirrors. I can't stand clear lenses. The taillights are getting the full red-out treatment next.
