Isuzu D-MAX Daytime Running Light

By Lisa Cavagnino

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.

STEP 2: APPLICATION

Peel the overlay from the backing paper and start with lining up the outermost edge. Once the top section is secured on the headlight, start to gently peel back the clear transfer tape. If you rush this step you risk lifting or stretching the overlay.

Smooth the along the whole top edge with your finger working your way to the other end of the headlight/overlay.

STEP 3: DETAILS

Next smooth the lower edge where the N logo sits (if you opted for this option if not, it will just be blank here). Guide the vinyl downwards smoothing gently over the curve of the headlight.

STEP 4: FINISHING TOUCHES

To further assist the vinyl in adhering you can lightly apply heat with a heat gun or hair dryer.

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 prepare a spray bottle with water. This will act as your slip solution for a wet install.

Application

Generously spray the headlight surface with the water. Make sure it is fully covered – this allows the vinyl to be repositioned easily. Carefully peel the Daytime Running Light overlay off its backing sheet and spray the adhesive side with the same solution to prevent immediate sticking. Be cautious not to touch the adhesive side too much.

Position the overlay on the headlight and adjust its position, lining up the top and bottom edge. The water allows for easy sliding and repositioning.

Smooth along the whole top edge with your finger working your way to the other end of the headlight/overlay.

Details

Starting from the centre, use a felt-edge squeegee or a wrapped card to press the water and air bubbles out toward the edges. Work slowly and evenly to avoid creases or trapped bubbles. Reapply light mist if needed to keep the surface slick while working.

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.
