STEP 1: PREP
Clean the area with warm soapy water or an alcohol spray/wipe to remove any dirt and dust prior to installing. Dry the area completely with a microfibre.
Dry fit the overlay. Before peeling the backing, hold the overlay up to the DRL to get a feel for its placement and alignment. Identify key edges or contours you’ll use to line it up.
Next fill a spray bottle with water, this will act as your slip solution for a wet install. Generously spray the headlight with water before starting.
STEP 2: APPLICATION
Gently peel back a small portion of the overlay backing (about 1–2 inches) and spray the adhesive side with the water. Align the overlay using the DRL's top or inner edge as your anchor point. Once aligned, press down on the exposed adhesive to tack it in place.
Apply gradually, slowly peel the rest of the backing while simultaneously pressing the vinyl onto the surface and adding slip solution. Use a squeegee or your fingers to smooth it down as you go, working from the centre outward to avoid bubbles.
STEP 3: DETAILS
If the overlay resists contouring or if air bubbles appear, use a heat gun or hair dryer on low heat to make the vinyl more pliable. Gently press and stretch the overlay into place as needed.
STEP 4: FINISHING TOUCHES
Go over the entire overlay with firm pressure to ensure full adhesion, especially around the edges. Once you're happy with the alignment and the overlay is flat, lightly dry any remaining moisture with a microfibre cloth. Allow the car to sit in a dry, warm place for at least 24 hours before washing or exposing it to rain.
