This is not an easy option

This was installed according to the instructions but the result was poor. Initially I thought it was just me so I sought professional help to install the rest and the result was still poor. Good: it's clear, it sticks, it's cheap Bad: 1: it sticks, too much. The material tends to trap air bubbles even when applied slowly in a straight line with a tool. Air is very difficult to remove if you are more than 1cm behind the bubble and you will get imperfect results if you push it through an already stuck part2: the material is too hard. There is no recoil in the material. He's not flexible at all. If your headlights aren't flat as cardboard, there will be problems because they can't stretch to conform to the contours, leaving either a gap between the peaks and valleys or excess foil and creases. Heat helps a little, but not for long. I've also found that when heated, although the foil stretches a bit, it becomes very thin and the adhesive on the bottom also gets too thin to stick, so heat very carefully. 3. The film has flaws. My corner lights were almost flat and even cropped, I found some excess from some creases. Flat glass + flat film = folds? The glue is also uneven. It seems even, but I've found that after gluing, small pockets can form in some places that need to be pressed again. They don't have air in them so it doesn't cause a problem, but I can see how one of them can affect you if it happens in a headlight corner or something. My advice: get one of the more expensive films and get professional help. . I don't know how this has worked for others, but based on my experience I can't recommend it
