hey everyone jus wanted to know if you would like to tint yor tail lights with a film that is pre cut for our HHR? i have contacted Lamin-x and iam in the process of trying to get them to make the film pre cut for our cars. They are curious how many people would be interested in them.

 

Chad, I have considered both the lamin-x and the spray on stuff and still don't know what I'm going to do yet, so I put maybe.

 

yea iam the same way also i just didnt want to cut them and struggle to get them to go on right, i also considered the spray on too if they make em pre cut though i think ill do the film if its not crazy expensive.

 

I was going to get some of their sheets to cut for the tail lights, but decided to go with the rings instead. Might reconsider in a year or so.

 

I am interested.

chadpuska is only trying to get an existing company to make the film pre-cut for taillights. They already make pre-cut film for the headlights.......

I Just tinted my tail light with the smoked film last weekend.
a 12"x24 strip did my tail lights, and all 4 side markers.
there was enough left over that i could of done the rear reflectors
but i thought i would leave them to have some visibility at night.

you do not want to have the film pre cut because you will need some over hang to pull on, in order to mold around the lights.

The best way is to:
-remove the tail lamps
-Cut 4 6x6 squares. (That should be about 1" larger than the lights)
-Clean the lenzes
-Center the square, and start appling pushing out from the center
-then get a heat gun, and warm the edges.
-using your fingers slowly mold the film around the edge
-use a SHARP knife and trim along the edge of the lenz
-Reinstall
-Then worry if the light is bright enough at night

I did it I heard from a few People that the light is alot Harder to see.
I think I am going to get some spider lites, or just some LED Bulbs, to see if that makes it any better

But It does Look Cool, I just wish I could get the material A few shades lighter

The entire install took just over an hour.

 

Questions, did you use lamin-x or another product? Lamin-x makes a light and a dark film. And of course, where are the pictures?!?

 

Here is the pic.



But just to let you know The film was fine for about a week and then the edges started to lift on me.

I am planning to get a set of chrome tail light rings and that should cover that problem.

 

What film did you use??
