Just got my tints for my headlight, and I was going to pay someone to put it on, but u made it look to easy. I'm doing in myself. Thank u for the video
I used water first time with heat gun. No bubbles. Just tinted them again with divx last week. No water and a heat gun again. No bubbles after I finished , even 24hrs later. Figured I was good. Now they look like they have teenage acne. I’m gonna try and find this brand of tint. Dreading removing the adhesive for a 2nd time. Thanks for the video man
@@shometintdude I don’t think you needed to water if the tint already has adhesive I maybe wrong but u just clean your lights and stick it on like he just did
I'm sitting on the toilet watching this before I go and put neo chrome tint on my 4runner headlights and fog lights 😂 thanks for this video man much love from San antonio Texas
You mentioned debris pickup from bad paint. If your lens is fading or crusty, the film will stick to the failing surface and not the lens. Was a crazy, but expected surprise on my wife's WRX. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes we remove it and have it auto flexed but if the surface is flat and smooth we are able to wrap it. Please be careful when trimming those pieces out because customers hate it when you cut the car. 😉
@Eli_89321 off of the vehicle you will generally have more control of the application and would have no risk of accidentally cutting into your vehicles paint when trimming it out.
@@shometint Well, I have done one tail light so far. I would give it a B+. However, I destroyed the first sheet of material trying. The problem is my tail light is an extremely challenging shape I now realize. Its curved the entire way, and is long all the way to a sharp point. The material wants to bunch up. Imagine a very elongated teardrop, cut in half. Its not the point part is hard. Its the spherical section. But, not impossible. I will post a final photo somewhere and link it. Thanks again.
@@shometint Damn I just watched the video again and realize I didn't follow how you did it exactly. I'm going to correct and try it on the second. You start in the middle of the light, and I started on an edge. Let's see how number 2 goes more closely following you. Thanks.
@@shometinthow did it go ? Is it holding up good? A lot of folks seriously recommended to not buy headlight tints from temu special based off the price because it’s bad quality and your headlights will cause mini acne looking bubble from the heat caused by the headlights being hot
@@ElevationRequiresSeperation1 I can confirm your suspicion on the quality of the film from temu. I bought a roll of yellow headlight tint and it easily bubbles with moderate heat.
Hello. Can you advise me please! The video shows the guy using no water on the headlight before applying the vinyl tint. I some people spray water on the headlight before attaching the vinyl? How do I know which method to use? Thanks:)@
Yea I went and did this to my headlight (okay job for my first time) but in retrospect, I probably should have watched a video like yours. I’m gonna re do it with newfound knowledge
@@shometint for sure. Looks like if you take your time and pay attention to what you're doing is pretty quick and easy. Windows on the other hand are going to be fun
Trying to tint my headlights. Should I spray the tint and or headlight with soapy water? Would a hair dryer be suffient enough if I'm scared a heat gun will damage my car?
You can do it wet, but doing it dry would be the way we would recommend it be installed. A heat gun is what we would recommend. The film is supposed to be post heated to 200° and a hair dryer won't get it that hot. You could remove your headlights prior to installation if you're afraid of your paint getting too hot.
Depending on what shade of film you go with, it can allow up to 98% of the light to pass through. Specifics can be found at the manufacturer's website.
Both are made for their specific applications. You would not get the desired results if you were to switch the roles of the material. One is meant for inside, away from the elements. The other is designed for outdoor use and has more flexible properties to curve around newer more challenging angles some new lights have. Window tint would not survive such severe turns/curves that the headlights have.

Cheers bro 👌

@@larryhaslondude I literally got mines off temu for 4 dollars very cheap I recommend you get it from there and not Amazon that’ll cost you 30 bucks …
I would want to do myself but don’t have the heat gun did u buy one or what did y do?

Doing it myself. Thank you!
So..
Hi from Poland its really cool to watch Your Flow ❤ keep doin that
Thank you friend! I'll keep up the flow, just for you!!!
You mentioned debris pickup from bad paint. If your lens is fading or crusty, the film will stick to the failing surface and not the lens.
Was a crazy, but expected surprise on my wife's WRX. Keep up the good work!
Great point!
Cool video, thanks! I wonder if a 1-way reflective clear or light tint would look cool on headlights.
I'm not sure, give it a try and let us know!!!
Lux and Vivid Air tint are my two favs. Great vid!
@jessecolton5207 Thanks brother!
Inspirational words and video very moving great job!
Thank you!
Pretty cool dude with nice vibes. Keep it up,mate! 💪🏻
@@bogdancalinescu4003 Thank you much!
Super helpful. One light is a tad foggier than the other dispite trying to restore it and the tint makes it nearly noticeable
Glad the tint can make them look the same!
You knocked it out quick . Makes me feel like I can do it .
You can!!!
How do you wrap the little interior trim. Like around air vents and such
Sometimes we remove it and have it auto flexed but if the surface is flat and smooth we are able to wrap it. Please be careful when trimming those pieces out because customers hate it when you cut the car. 😉
I’m glad I found this !! Thanks for the video!!! Now I feel better trying it myself
Oh and you should try linking the product now in the video !!
We have it in the description but here is the link... amzn.to/3mQ8WMr
It's really not that hard, just take your time and you may need a few tries.
Is it a certain type film to use instead of standard film ? It’s a difference when it come to stretching the film
Great vid bro, thanks for the tips, love the video thanks doing this to my truck next week
Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work right the first time. Practice makes it look easy. Let us know how with goes!!!
if you dont have a heating gun could u use a blow dryer or what would be best?
Typically a blow dryer cant get to the temp that is needed to activate the glue.
A heat gun is best.
Good video. I just ordered some. I’ll be tinting the lights on my riding mower, ATV, and Silverado
Riding mower! Gotta cut in style!!! Love it.
@@shometint Yeah, it’s the red one in my profile picture. I have already made many other mods to it. Thanks.

Glad you got some use from it!!!
Thanks for the informative explanation im gonna do my truck tomorrow
Awesome, you're welcome! Let us know how it works out for you!
Great video man. Thinking I will use a hair dryer in replacement of a heat gun, do you think that would work?
Thanks. As much as I'd like to say yes, I just don't think a hair dryer can get to a high enough temp.
Excellent tutorial
Thanks, trying to keep it simple.
You make it look sooo easy Bro‼😝
Years of practice my friend!
Great video and thanks.
How much light do you loose?
It depends on the film you choose to use. If it's a decent brand, they should have a website that gives those details.
@@shometint thank you!
Great help, thank you. What headlight (on your head) do you use?
It's Snap-On brand. Thank you!
would it be easier to tint while off the car mine are right now, should i put them on before tinting?
@Eli_89321 off of the vehicle you will generally have more control of the application and would have no risk of accidentally cutting into your vehicles paint when trimming it out.
came out great and i noticed you didn't spray the headlight or tint with water than apply.
Thanks for this video. About to tint my tail lights. Good stuff. Cheers!

Can you show how to tint a 2010 lexus rx350 headlight???
Aye.. fresh cut bruh 💪🏿💪🏿🐲
Yes, yes my friend!
Is this material same as laminate x?
Freaking great tips bruh 👍
This was very helpful. I have a motorcycle that I just purchased a sticker kit for. Do you have a video on that???
We have one coming up very soon with us adding a kit to a side by side. That would be a very similar application.
@@shometint awesome. Looking forward to seeing it.
Hope you did something about that orange indicator.
We do whatever the customer wants 😉
GThanks for this information on how to do it, it helped me a lot.
Awesome, any other questions reach out. Happy to help!

Yeaaah you just saved me $100 I’m about to do this rn😭😂😂
Good luck!!!
Good job well done im going to give it a try 😂
@@rhyscharles5929 You can do it!!!
Thanks, looks to easy to do it.
@mariomoraleshernandez5054 it's not too bad. A little practice, and you'll be a pro!
What does the light look like on now, does it change colour
Color won't change, intensity will be slightly reduced. With how bright modern car headlights are, you most likely won't have an issue.
did it thx to this tutorial thank you!
Looks great
Hello. Can you advise me please! The video shows the guy using no water on the headlight before applying the vinyl tint. I some people spray water on the headlight before attaching the vinyl? How do I know which method to use? Thanks:)@

@zemoney954 Thanks! We want to give everyone, and their vehicle, a better experience than any other shop can!
Perfect!! I always wanted to do this to my car
Do it and let us know how you did!
Where u get them jeans I like those
They are BKE, from the buckle.
@@shometint thanks
do you need heat for this or will it stick okay without it
@@nicholasrosales4059 it will most likely peel without heat activating the adhesive.
Yea I went and did this to my headlight (okay job for my first time) but in retrospect, I probably should have watched a video like yours. I’m gonna re do it with newfound knowledge
We are always learning. You'll do a better job next time! 😉
awesome vinyl... very easy to work with..
Glad you like it!
Excellent stuff! How much would I need for the headlights of a mini cooper? Don’t have the vehicle yet, but it’s in transit. Just earned a sub!
I'm not sure of the head light size. Measure it up and then account for a little extra, in case you mess up.
Im trying this today
Let us know how it goes!
Yeah I'll hopefully be doing this soon. Ty buddy!
It's really not too bad even if it's your first try!
@@shometint for sure. Looks like if you take your time and pay attention to what you're doing is pretty quick and easy. Windows on the other hand are going to be fun
And if I want to took it out,how do I do it?
I want to do this on mine but how much does it kill the headlight output at night? Or does it not at all?
It depends on the shade. A lighter tint will allow almost all the light to pass through.
Where I can get the wrap?
For my Acura TSX 2005, should I use dark or mid smoke for the tinting?
We like using the mid smoke! But darker might look better with your paint color.
@@shometint Okay thank you! Do you think dark smoke would make my lights too dim?
@@rikkipayne8832 Every car will be a little different. Only one way to find out!

A heat gun is what we would recommend. The film is supposed to be post heated to 200° and a hair dryer won't get it that hot.
You could remove your headlights prior to installation if you're afraid of your paint getting too hot.
@@shometint thank you! I'm trying to do as much as I can to my car myself. Before I go to any shops. This is helpful.
Excellent vid! Thanks
You're welcome, hope it helps!!!
Going to give it a try, but I believe you made it look easy. Thanks!
You can do it!
That's so cool, thank you!
Happy to share the knowledge!
Where’d you pick up your “headlights” flashlights? those are handy!
They are snap-op brand!
Can you use a hair dryer for heat instead?
I have never seen a hair dryer that can get to 200 degrees. Pretty sure a hair dryer that hot would melt your hair, 😆
Does the tint dull the brightness of the light?
The manufacturers website lists how much light gets past the tint. I believe the lightest tint allows up to 98% of the light to pass through.
Amazing😊
Hope this video helps you out!
Is the headlight perform the same or it got dim? I want to do it to my car also?
Depending on what shade of film you go with, it can allow up to 98% of the light to pass through. Specifics can be found at the manufacturer's website.
so whats the difference between window tint and headlight tint?
Both are made for their specific applications. You would not get the desired results if you were to switch the roles of the material.
One is meant for inside, away from the elements. The other is designed for outdoor use and has more flexible properties to curve around newer more challenging angles some new lights have. Window tint would not survive such severe turns/curves that the headlights have.
Could a HD road glide headlight be tinted green? And still be street legal.
@@chadledford7928 You will need to check with your state/local laws on that one.
Is that static cling tint?
No, it has adhesive on the back.
Great video
Thanks, I hope it helped you!
Thank you brother
You are welcome!
Coming back for the tortillas bro!!
@@djdlowofficial let's do lunch!!!
What percentage for headlight tint is recommended
We like the lightest shade as it gives it a tinted look and doesn't block too much light projecting out the headlight.
Can you use a hair blow dryer instead?
@ashleycrudup2003 Typically hair dryers can't get hot enough.
