07--how did you get the lights out? i tried the other day to find out? do they just pop out or do you have to get them from the behind the front bumper?

Easiest way is to turn your wheel all the way to one side, then on that side remove the first couple fender well screws, they are just tabs you press and pull on the light at the same time but the fender well keeps them from coming off easily. Then repeat on the other side!

Thanks Eagle! Yep. The fenderwell is nerve-racking to pull from the bumper because it starts to bend the edge of the bumper, but it's fine. The bumper will just go back into it's regular form.

This is what I used to get them out/in:

It doesn't mention sanding the tabs down though. You definately will need to do that. I spent about 45 minutes trying to get them to snap back in to place. 500 4-letter words and a little internet research later, I figured out needed to be sanded down a bit.

hey 07, when you say tabs, do you mean the white ones the red arrows are pointing at in the picture on the site you linked? (i was going to link the pic, but i couldn't get it to show up )

***never mind, i figured out what part you meant

i also did this with 20% tint, very easy and looks great,

I read that a heatgun would also help in stretching the film or helping to evaporate the water. I've never done it before, but have read some reviews and seen some youtube videos of the process. Could you take some pics and let us know how it goes Xeno?

well, i just sort of finished putting the tint on. as far as i can tell, it looks pretty good; unfortunately, when i put the bulbs back in and turned them on to see what it looked like, my passenger side signal bulb burnt out. so, i have to wait till tomorrow before i can get any pics.

as far as pics and instructions go for the installation process, the link 07 posted shows/tells exactly what you need to know. my only recommendation is to cut the tint so it just covers the 'reflection' area on the cover, then once it ends towards the front (near the turn signal bulb) angle the cut out so it covers almost the entire lens cover; doing that sort of made it easier to get the tint to lay flat.

overall, it's not too hard to do, and it is a relatively cheap and fun diy mod; i'd recommend doing it to anyone who has the patience (it can be kind of a pain, though, when the tint doesn't want to lay flat, i say this from experience )

as a side note, i used 35% tint on mine

i don't know how long this will last; my driver side tint is already bubbling and it wasn't last night. anyway, here are a few pics of the finished result; i'll try to get some more later when the sun isn't so bright. (yes, my poor car is very dirty)
