Default Red vinyl wrap taillights

I know been discussed before but I did search and couldn't find the thread. I saw a car the other day and the red taillights did look very nice. I saw the pre cut pieces on eBay. My question is how easy is it to put it on, can I do it myself.

Really easy to do. Just apply with soapy water, dry in sun.

I didn't like mine and removed it. Looked hazy when the turn signals were on. It wasn't an installation error it just looked cheap so I remove it. Many members on here have it and seem to like it.

I saw one on a car and it definitely looked nicer then the orange turn. They have this xmas special going on for 4.99$ so this is the best time to save 6$ haha. I ordered it last night.

I bought mine off of Amazon actually, and it worked out very well. I am planning on re-doing it one day after learning some better tricks for minimizing bubbles when installing.

If you can install a screen protector on a phone, you can do this.

I'm thinking to spray soap water underneath and take it out with a credit card. What better idea do you have ?

I've seen the red sticker overlays on ebay and considered it but then saw a few people say it made the signals look hazy when in use. Nice looking mod but not that important to me...for now at least ha. Best of luck if you do it though and post pics!
