D.I.Y - Lamin - X Tinting Tail Lights - By Richard DeFries

D.I.Y. - Lamin - X Tinting Tail Lights

1. Gather Your Tools / Parts - Phillips Screwdriver - Lamin - X Tinting Kit - Paper Towels - Rubbing Alcohol - Micro Fiber Clothes - Needle - Blow Dryer

1. Pop Your Hatch / Trunk Remove The 2 Screws Holding The Tail Light Fixture Into Place Remove Slowly There Are 2 Plastic Pins That Hold The Tail Light Fixture In Place And The Rubber Grommets They Sit In Tear Easily. Once The Tail Light Fixture Is Free Remove The Wiring Harness From The Tail Light Fixture And Remove The Bulbs.

2. Bring Your Tail Light Fixture Inside And Remove The 8 Screws Holding The Face Plates On (Ref Pic 1)



3. Once The Face Plate And Lense Is Separated Start To Prep Your Tinting Surface I Used Rubbing Alcohol And A Micro Fiber Cloth To Remove Any Debris / Dirt (Ref Pic 2)


4. Mist Your Tinting Surface With The Supplied Water Bottle And Lay Your Tints Down Once You Feel They Are Nice And Centered Use The Supplied Squeegee And Go From The Center To The Edges To Remove The Excess Water. Once You Have Them On Nice And Clean I Suggest Using A Blow Dryer To Heat Them Up And Get Any Excess Water Or Air Bubbles Out. (Ref pic 3) Your Tints. This Would Also Be A Great Time To Paint Your Face Plate Rings.


5. Now You Can Reattach The Face Plates Once They Are All Screwed In You Might Notice Small Air Bubbles Don't Be Alarmed They Will Disappear With Some Heat And Time.If Not You Can Poke Them With A Small Needle And Use A Blow Dryer On Them To Get It Out. (Ref Pic 4)


6. Do Your Final Clean Up. Decide If You Want To Use Old Bulbs Or New Brighter Bulbs And Reinstall The Tail Light Fixture Once Again Be Careful Pushing The Plastic Pins Into The Grommets (Ref pic 5)


7. Sit Back And Enjoy Your Hard Work (Ref Pic 6)
