Is one 12"x24" sheet big enough for each light?
Ask for 13"X31" instead of 12"X32" (more standard size)
12"X24" is way too small.
Purchase 4 times 12"X16" and ask to have it 2 sheets of 13"X31"
10% wouldn't be enough dark...35% is way to much
20% is perfect !!
(the % works in the opposite way of window tinting)
I'll make a little movie at night (will look like Milt vid) The LED has no problem to blink thru the film !!
MANDATORY !!
Buy an heat gun if you don't have one. Ask also a friend to helping you.
Use a lot of lightly soaped water too ! It will make your hands slide better to mold the film on the light.
I was working with my friend...I was heating and spraying water and he was molding the film on the light...take off the bubble. It's better to heat but don't forget to spray water in short interval. The film is very resistant...but it has a limit...if it is too heated it can tear...just dont forget to spray water. It's why I don't see any human do this alone !! (Pro maybe can...but our lights are very curvy !!)
I bought it from
http://www.instylegraphics.com/index.asp?
On the left menu click "Taillight Kits "
then click first choice ".Bulk/Uncut Sheets "
ask for 2 time 2-1216
or 4 time 1216
don't forget to ask a sheet of 31"X13" (just have more grip (1 extra inch) to pull on the film instead of 32"X12")
I will add also...cut the bottom extra film off the light. Let some extra film on the top of the light....when you will install the light on the car...you'll understand.
