DIY tint foglights and Side Turn Signals

This week i bout some vinyl tints off ebay just to see how they looked and put them on my foglights and side turn signals, i wanna put them on my amber headlights next.

All you will need is:
1. Hairdryer or some sort of heat gun
2. Razor blade or hobby knife
3. Scissors to cut the vinyl
4. Pieces of paper to trace the fog lights with
5. Soap & Water

Heres the vinyl I bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/12-Sm...Q5fAccessories

sorry lost the pictures of tracing the fog lights but its not that hard to do just get a piece of paper and trace the foglights. Next cut the paper and outline the vinyl with it. Clean off the foglights then spray them with soap and water along with the vinyl. Just apply the vinyl and blow with the heat gun, do that twice and you have finished heres how mine turned out.



Now for the side turn signals i chose to remove them since i thought it would be easier. If you dont know how to remove them just press the lights towards the back of the car and pull outward all at the same time.


This is for the e90's not sure about other cars.

I used a microfiber towel and held the light up with a clamp.


Cut out the vinyl a little bigger than the light then stretched it over.
I then used the hobby knife to cut the excess vinyl off and put them back on the car.

Overall i like the look nice and cheap untill i can buy the black ones that are $70.
