@ Premium Auto Styling I want to buy the 15ft roll of your website , I was wondering if this film comes with a liner over the film to peel of after the installation is done?

The one thing that helps you see at night you tint?
How would one use this same material to smoke taillights on a Honda Crosstour? Just because of the curvatures of the taillight, it looks to be a daunting task. My guess is that I would have to saturate the crap out of the taillight and film while applying? Any tips or insight would be greatly appreciated.

What present tint do yall use for headlights
Lol, if you know what your doin it will come out like so, nice and clean. If you don't know what your doin and your a biginner expect creases and frustrating endless moments up n out the Ying Yang !!
how big was the vinyl in this video that you used? 12x1foot?
Can you tell me the heat gun which temperature did you use? around 200 degree Celsius or more? Thanks.
Sounds silly but do headlight overlays cause headlight casing to crack? I’ve heard that in the case of HID, but just wanted to ask
Can i use this at the backlights of my audi a4 b5 2000 ??? And on the Front Headlights??
Quick question, I'm about to buy this film for a Volkswagen Jetta so how much should I buy? Btw it's for my headlights

I am in UK where can the vinyl be purchased
do you have to use water ?
will this diminish the brightness of their headlights
Is headlight out put reduce???
Doesnt the tint bubble on plastic surfaces?
Great! How can I remove it?
How big of a piece did you cut?? I would guess 12”x2’?
R they dark smoke or light smoke tint?
Great video. Now, how do we take it off?
Is this standard window tint? or a special material specific for headlight tinting?
@Rhyspw69

I bought window tint from a halfords and it was way to thin as it kept sticking to itself and creasing so i ordered proper headlight tint and the material is alot thicker and can withstand more force than the film
Aight quick question, so you know how there are usually 3 layers on films like these, one is clear (that sticks to the adhesive), then the actual film, then another top layer that is removed at the very end, I didn't see y'all remove that 3rd layer at the end, does it come with it? Or is it just two layers?
@Schneizel00

Good question and yes, I believe they had to remove the top layer haha, it had orange peel to it as well so I'm pretty sure it had to be removed.
What Is the lightest tint I can get? I want mine to be lighter than this one but not too light either maybe a shade or two lighter.

Because some headlights require you to partially/completely take off other parts of the car such as the bumper in order to remove them. Meaning more effort. Its also easier for stretching since you’ve got the unit is anchored in place.
Though this is freaking cool looking, i dont think this is Street Legal anywhere in the USA. Headlights are used to be able to see at night safely. Having dimmed headlights only makes visibility worse. This is not a great idea. If it was clear to help prevent yellowing on the headlights then yeah that would be cool.
