Vinyl Squeeze

Soft Cloth Towel

Spray Bottle with soapie water

Hair Dryer

Step 1

Clean the Tail Light

Clean the surface of the Tail light with soap water to ensure all debris are removed from the surface the Light.

Step 2

Remove the Vinyl from the protective sheet.  Carefully remove the vinyl from the sheet and spray the vinyl's adhesive side with Soapie Water.

The Soapie Water will prevent the Overlay's adhesive from sticking while you apply it the Tail Light

Step 3

Spray and Apply the Overlay on the Tail Light. Carefully apply/align the vinyl on the Tail Light and smooth out as much crease as possible by using your fingers. Use the vinyl squeegee to push out all the soapie water on the front face of the Tail Light. The more soapie water you push out the less bubbling there will be.

Note: Make sure the crease are evenly distributed on the Overlay, therefore you can easily smooth it out with a hair dryer and Squeeze

Step 4

Carefully pull and fold the side inward. If necessary, use the hair dryer to soften up the vinyl and squeegee out all the crease

Step 5 Heat, Pull, Stretch

Heat up the crease and begin stretching and pulling the vinyl.  You will notice the crease smoothing out. Stretch it and align the edges.  Don't be alarm if you over stretch it. It is okay. The excess vinyl can be easily cut.

Note: Do not over heat.  Overheating will cause bubbling. Patience is key here. Take your time!!  Don’t rush

Step 6

Trim the edges (Optional)

Heat up the excess vinyl (heating up the vinyl will soften it and makes it easy to trim) and trim Note: Don't worry if you over stretch the vinyl. Any excess vinyl protruding  can be easily remove using an exacto knife.

Step 7  Allow the film to dry for 45 minute before wiping off any excess soapie water.  Any excess liquid left under the film may cause fogginess.  This is perfectly normal during the curing process. The film is breathable and fogginess will evaporate within a few weeks.

Step 8: Done!!
