    u should be able to go to a tint place to get it done
    after my boy tinted his tC lights it looked bubbly
    maybe it wasn't done properly
    i got mine painted .. no tint so it would have the OEM look
    doesn't the kit come with instructions ??

    yea, it says that i need like soap water and stuff like that and a heat gun. so obviously there is some fitting required, but i dont want to try to do it myself because i think ill mess it up.

    True on that. Be careful to not apply too much heat. Best to remove lenses from the car and do it on a bench. Also, hard to do correctly in cold temps.
