Greetings. We just added another tutorial to our site and thought we should post it here too. This step by step process will work on all our headlight kits for the xA, clear or colored. It may or may not work on some different versions that other companies may offer - please follow the mfg's instructions as using instructions for a different product may alter the outcome.

Step 1: Clean the lenses. Clean your hands. Make sure there are no residues from the cleaning process remaining on the lenses or your hands.
Without removing the lens cover from the backing paper hold it up to the lens and make sure you have the correct one / orientation (i.e. Slightly ovoid lenses).

Wet down one lens with water - a clean spray bottle / plant mister works great.



Step 2: If it is cool - below 65 degrees F gently warming the material with a hair dryer will help things along.

Carefully remove the cover from the backing paper - handling the adhesive as little as possible. Mist down the adhesive side and gently place on the lens.

Handling the edges align the front corner of the piece - (right inner point in the photo) then generally align the remaining edges. The piece will be 'floating' on the beads of water on the lens. Be gentle the adhesive is pressure sensitive.



Step 3: Squeegee the inner point as shown - from left to right.



Step 4: Generally align the back upper corner.




Step 5 With the surface of the cover wet squeegee up and back across the middle of the lens firmly.



Step 6: Squeegee down the hump and into the back corner of the lens.



Step 7: Squeegee firmly from the area you just squeegeed down the hump firmly. If it is below 65 degrees gently warming the film will help it conform smoothly.



Step 8: Continue squeegeeing firmly.



Step 9: Now squeegee down from the center diagonal area in step 8 toward the bottom of the kit.

NOTE: This kit was installed with ambient air temps ~90 degrees F. If it is cool out the use of a hair dryer on low will be necessary for steps 9-11.

Do not overheat the film, you just want to warm to about 90 degrees F.

Squeegee in .5 - 1.0 inches increments from left to right to distribute the film.



Step 10: Continue firmly squeegeeing in short strokes as in step 9.Continue to the very bottom of the kit until all film has laid down.



Step 11: Repeat step 7, adding heat as necessary and using firm pressure on the squeegee.



Step 12: Repeat steps 9-10 on the top half of the kit.

With a sharp razor knife carefully trim off the handling tabs. If you have any areas that are misaligned or overhanging you can either wrap the edge if it a flat surface or simply trim off the excess.

Go over the edges with a suede detail cloth / paper towel wrapped squeegee to make sure the edge is fully set. Gentle heat from a hair dryer on low can help things along if it is cool out.




Now you are done, stand back and enjoy!

With our HID Blue protective headlight covers you will be able to change to look of your vehicle while protecting your headlights from being sand-blasted to death. Our HID Blue film was designed to mix with the light from your headlight and produce a bright white beam!

You can remove these at some point in the future if you are so inclined - though they can only be used once.




Let us know if you have any questions regarding the install process or the materials used.
