Default DIY Red Outs - All The Info You Need

Tools:
Credit Card
Exacto Knife
Hair Dryer
Red Outs (I used the ones from Decalgirl.com - Blinker cover only)
Shop Towel

How To:
First clean the tailights with a shop towel, get all the dirt off, I didn't spray any windex or water. (And it sticks just fine)

Warm up the tailight by using the hair dryer. (They do that for snowboard stickers)

Align the red out with the blinker. Do the inside of the tailight going towards the outside. Use the credit card to smooth it out and get rid of the bubbles.

Use the exacto knife to trim the excess of the decal on the outside of the tailight.

These are the red outs: (Left one shown)


This is the before and after picture of the corner lense:


This is what it looks like with the blinker on:


Final Result:

No I don't, sorry!

But with those pics you get the idea man, it's worth the $20. That's what it comes up to after shipping and handling.
