Headlight Covers

Yeah I know.. no pics. but a while back I bought and installed HID BLUE headlight covers from these guys...

http://www.headlightarmor.com/

Not the cheapest but good quality stuff. You can get a feel for what it looks like from their pics.

The first headlight came out ok... as you really need to heat it (blow dryer) and pull/stretch it during installation. Second headlight came out almost perfect.

Co-worker bought tails for his G35 and it came out pretty good!

I bought a set for my car, but I was not able to install them myself, I was probably just doing it wrong. I have them sitting in my room right now in a box.

Did you buy it from the same company as I did?

From much reading their covers are much thicker and better quality and of course more expensive. There's a drawback though, I think theirs is much harder to install because it's 20-25mil thick! Most one's that are sold on Ebay were only 10-15 mil thick and easier to form and shape.

I bought them from eBay, the problem I had was that the tint was all wrinkled and had lots of bubbles because of the curve of the headlight. I'll probably bring it to the place im getting my tint done and see if they can do it.

When I installed mine, it took a little bit of time to get it right. Probably like 35-45 mins each headlight. You really got to keep it wet and squeege out from the middle to the edges to eliminate all the bubbles.

The hardest part cause these one's are so thick, was to form them around the curve of the lights and get them to stick flat on the edges, but the blower dryer on hot (someone else applying the heat as I formed and squeeged) helped with that!

It wasn't easy but it came out alright. Wish I had another left side so I can re-do that one again!

Your tint guy should be able to do it.
