any tips on doing this to prevent airbubbles and messups?
i bought a set of the smoked overlays from Hunter399 and would like to know the best way to put them on.

since i only get 2 of them i really want to make them perfect for the price.

installation step by step would be wonderful

hmm, that sucks.

Just use soapy water, so the overlay won't set onto the headlight too fast; the soapy water will alow you time to move it around until you have it on perfectly, then let dry.

Of course, got to make sure the headlights are sparkling clean before applying the overlay

Soapy water is the best idea. I just went for it, and I have small bubbles throughout.

[noktekniq]

i installed it already.
only 2 bubble on the driver side. 1 on the passenger side.
all 3 very small

if they dont go away in a few days, poke them carefully with a small pin and let the air out.
