Lamin X tint on headlights?

[vRS_Pagey]

Ive had 3 attempts at doing Mk5 headlights now and won't be trying again. First time was with uncut film and second was using precut templates. It's an absolute nightmare to do without getting air bubbles.

Did you use Lamin X?

Yep original laminex both times. I've wrapped quite a few car parts before which were a walk in the park in comparison. Roughly spent £70 in total and it's all ended up in the bin

When id done mine one side did have quite a few bubbles in but the laminX will settle after a few days/weeks anyway so all gone now!

Yeah there will be airbubbles when you've just fitted it, then after a week or two they will disappear.

I just found that there was less margin for error with the pre-cut ones, as you had to position it perfectly whilst also trying to lay it well, whereas with a sheet you could just cover the whole lens with the film (easy) then focus solely on laying it without any bubbles.

Yes mate totally agree! Have to line the pre cuts up bob on otherwise its peel it off and start again and thats where it gets messy!!

What size is needed for the golf?

[Scrubadub]

Mega thread bump in know, but interested in this film for my golf with xenons.
What size sheet do i need to do both headlights and whats the darkest i can get away with as they do a gun metal colour or subtle tint

Any help much appreciated

[martziniuk]

I've got fly eye wrap in mine. It's reported to be legal too

[JoeDarKa]

I attempted this today and failed horribly!

[Scrubadub]

Ive watched a few vids on how to apply, id use soapy water and a squidgy

[chowgar]
