I just installed one side of the lights, but i still noticed some air bubbles in the light, and when using my creditcard to smooth it out i noticed that it was scratching the vinyl..is this normal for air bubbles to still be there? do they eventually go away? and if ever wanted to take them off does it ruin your taillights with sticky stuff?

i Believe They Peel Right Off!..* And About The Bubble Part I Sorta Had The Same Problem On The First Tail Light But Thats Because I Had Heated Them Very Well So Water Wasnt Able To Come Out Of The Vinyl When I Used My Squeegee..*

so does your first taillight still have any air bubbles? or do they just go away?

have to reapply then probably unless you take a needle and poke the air and squeeze it down, i have no air bubbles anywhere

axis77

so has anyone ever peeled them off after you already let them dry?

hmm not sure about that, i dont know if theres adhesive left after it dries, you might have to take a needle, poke the airbubble and squeeze it out depending on the size of it

i used lightly soapy water

applied it

used a heat gun on low heat.. about 8-10 inches away...

used my thumb & micro fiber towel too push out the bubbles...

apply heat until it full adheres..

then... fold in the edges

done!

When I installed mine, I made sure I used a lot of soapy water. It's just like tinting a window. I didn't use a heat gun though. Mine have been on for about 5 months now, and they still look fine.

Well i guess im the only bonehead on this site that wasnt patient enough with the vinyl...i uses alot of soapy water i didnt do a good job at making sure all bubbles are out, so now i guess i have to order new ones and pray that my old ones done screw up my lights...

yea i didnt use a heatgun, just ran the strip in a bowl of soapy water, positioned it and squeegeed out the water

All I used was some soap water and a hair dryer.

of course you dont NEED to.. but if you got it.. use it.. it'll certainly dry up much quicker with less chances of bubbles

i guess what i'm saying is that i got it done at the source and they didn't use any heat.

when you peel them off they come off very clean...when i took mine off it didnt leave any residue on the tail light
