Can someone host a video clip of the turn signal on after the vinyl install?

Yellow Bulb should make it blink amber or close to stock but still be red while not on...

You can find it on eBay. No signs of peeling on my car but I've only had it on for a little over a month. My brother did is RSX over a year ago and doesn't have any peeling.

Did you overlap the vinyl to go into the crease of the hoodline? In other words, when you open the trunk, can you see ANY orange or did you run the vinly a little further so it actually covers the light toward the trunk area of the light (the very side of the light)

I went a little past the edge and folded it over to give it a cleaner look. When the trunk is open you don't see any amber. You can kind of see it in this pic.

Thx for the pic, looks awesome, do you have any pics of the other side, where the vinyl meets the other red portion of the light? Can you see an edge at all?
