Well if i could give u a little advice, if you have to stretch around a round object, u apply the most plain surface first, pre-stretch with heat where u need to go around (bumps), wrap around it and shrink it with heat again, so u have less stretching when u apply it on on the plain surfaces, u will have no more tension, you know what i mean? :) Guess that helps for everybody, pro tipps from a wrapper ;) nice vid btw!
@@novagarage38 oh it does, just gotta get my valves checked now (it's been in pieces for 3+ months now lol) I'll post some pics once it's done and over with
Man, getting my new car soon and asuch as I like led oems, I hate the white 6000k colour output since forever because the of the glare on rain droplets and since I'm running 3000k, I'm so use to see yellowish beams. Hoping to get the tint to work out iny favour.
I had same issue, i dont bmw bmw's headlights with yellow tint. But they only look good with the lights off. With the lights on it looks like cheap lights. Is it worth putting 2 more layers???
I took it off not too long after because the yellow light was just not sitting with me. It didn’t leave any residue, but Vivid has a pretty good reputation for being quality.
@@novagarage38 did you keep the film on? I have 6000k LEDs and I want to have a closer to halogen color temperature for driving in snow and rain this winter
It’s durable, vivid is one of the best films on the market, they have all kinds of tinted type films and clears and cool pattern inlays and such, def worth it for the lens protection if anything.
Probably lol. I remember watching a video about a dude getting harassed for yellow headlights in California by the police and it was legal at the time apparently, he had documents from several times he went to court and won, but I guess they changed the laws regarding lights recently. Good luck to you though my dude, If they’re anything like the cops in NYC, you know they aren’t going to stop at just the headlights lol
yeah, they definitely looked yellow, but didn't affect the visibility or the fact that it was a turn signal too much. Also still have the amber bulbs on the sideview mirrors.
Nick Nova Garage I was just askin how many like hours would it take for a person to do this to my car. This guy took 3 hours on mine today but it looks good
@@xRedApache it took me less than an hour for each light to install the actual film. I did watch hours of videos oh how to use this film and their air release vinyls in general. I guess with prepping the light it could take up to 3 hours but a pro who knows the film well should be able to bang it out pretty quickly.
yeah, i hear you, not worth the hassle, especially in my experience if they are going to stop you for something like that, they are going to add something else on too. Use to happen to me all the time with tinted windows in NYC.
I didn't notice any drop in illumination per se, but the projected light was obviously yellow and that started to bother me after driving for about an hour, IDK if just because I wasn't used to it or what. I didn't notice a difference in the overall visibility though, and that was night driving through pitch-black roads in a rural area. I do have LED headlights, It might be a bit more noticeable drop with xenons, but I doubt its significant.
Sometimes, depends on the state, have to look up your states vehicle laws regarding headlights, it usually specifies what color it has to be or what colors it can’t be.
I believe so, first hit on a google search says Section 25950 of the California Vehicle Code states: “Unless provided otherwise, the color of lamps and reflectors upon a vehicle shall be white or yellow for those visible from in front of a vehicle.” You might still get hassled, I remember seeing a video of a dude in Cali getting ticketed for it multiple times and he had to go to court to fight it and won, but they still continued to pull him over and hassle him, which is why he started recording the encounters with a dash cam for a harassment claim.
*WOW over a 100 other videos and you are the 1st to show the output at night!*
Thanks, Felt like an obvious thing people would want to see

nice vid btw!
Thanks dude, appreciate it!
looks really good with the color of the car.
Thanks! I tend to think it looks better on a lighter color but it does look pretty good with the tanzanite too.
Because Le Mans Racing!
exactly GTs ftw 😉
Nick A right you got it!!!!!
Very good video. Night is what we all wanted to see.
Love the GT look, you just need an oversized rear wing to go with it now!
Actually don’t have it anymore, got bored with it
That looks great! I Cannot wait to install it on my SR Viper now
Awesome, that should look dope😎
Awesome, that should look dope😎

Comparing your headlights to that clearly edited and filtered picture doesn't do it any justice. I think they look great my dude.
Great video. I've seen a lot of people using this tint, ima try it.

yellow headlights+satin black wrap = decepticon
You did a great job with applying the tint. Also, the yellow tint really pops out with your paint. 👍👍👍👍
CLEAN!!!!

nice work. how did the vinyl hold up? any cracking or peeling? i wonder if the adhesive leaves a residue if peeled off.
I took it off not too long after because the yellow light was just not sitting with me. It didn’t leave any residue, but Vivid has a pretty good reputation for being quality.
Hey man great video! Question is that the bright yellow or the gold yellow you installed?
Thanks John! It's the bright yellow, first link in the description.
Awesome video!
Awesome product! super easy to use
This is so sweet
Did that have a protective film over it?
Are your headlights LED or HID or halogen?
Those are LED
@@novagarage38 did you keep the film on? I have 6000k LEDs and I want to have a closer to halogen color temperature for driving in snow and rain this winter
I didn’t keep it on, I liked the look but I couldn’t get used to the yellow light color when driving, just didn’t sit well with me.
i did the same thing to mine and ended up pulling the yellow off for the light smoke
Not sure why JDM, the French came up with yellow headlight. ;)
Yes, yes, we all know about Le Mans 😉
is it durable? worth it!?
It’s durable, vivid is one of the best films on the market, they have all kinds of tinted type films and clears and cool pattern inlays and such, def worth it for the lens protection if anything.
Is this legal in California?
Quick google search says no.
@@novagarage38 tinting mine right now, so I can get pulled over lol ?
Probably lol.

Good luck to you though my dude, If they’re anything like the cops in NYC, you know they aren’t going to stop at just the headlights lol
Yes! It's illegal in California
But now the turn signals are going to look yellow
yeah, they definitely looked yellow, but didn't affect the visibility or the fact that it was a turn signal too much. Also still have the amber bulbs on the sideview mirrors.
Is this legal in nyc
Nothing is legal in NYC
How long does it take for a person that knows what he’s doing?
Not sure I understand, are you asking how long it takes to learn how to use this film, or that I don't know what I'm doing? lol

hey chief can ubshare the link for the tint wrap please
I wish , it's illegal where I live .
yeah, i hear you, not worth the hassle, especially in my experience if they are going to stop you for something like that, they are going to add something else on too. Use to happen to me all the time with tinted windows in NYC.
I think it’s in California I just watched a video where I guy gets pulled over for yellow lights and the cop let him go
@@Dying_Breed.300 I feel you I want to do it so bad but how cops are in Orange County forget that…. I’ll probably just do my fog lights instead
have u gotten pulled over for this
You most likely will honestly, especially if you live in a city where they bust your balls for like tint and such.
More like too french haha
Did you notice a drop in headlight illumination?

You didn’t show how to cut it
Yeah sorry, I think I mentioned that in the video, thought the camera was recording when it wasn’t
Why did you leave the headlights in the car?It would have be so easy with headlights removed from the car.
To be honest... because I'm lazy 😂 But you are absolutely right, much easier off the car.
Orginal is better
Agreed
Is that legal?
Sometimes, depends on the state, have to look up your states vehicle laws regarding headlights, it usually specifies what color it has to be or what colors it can’t be.
You did a good job but not my cup of tea.
Looks awful
Thanks bro
@@novagarage38 welcome 🤣
That's subjective. I think it looks amazing
