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.
This can be installed wet or dry, however wet makes for much easier positioning and is recommended. Next prepare a spray bottle with water.
STEP 2: APPLICATION
Generously spray the headlight surface with the solution. 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 edge. The slip solution allows for easy sliding and repositioning.
STEP 3: 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.
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.
