You need to slightly over size the Fly eye tint and warm with a hair dryer and smooth out over the lenses....since this photo was taken I have also done the fog/driving lights.

It does really effect the lights brightness, so it might be better to wait until the nights get longer!

Ive just removed mine as i really couldn't see that well on the dark rainy evenings with other oncoming traffic. Looks really cool though, so i might give it another go in the spring!

Not hard to do, cheap and doesn't damage anything so it a pretty harmless mod. Make sure though you buy the real thing as some of the cheap ebay stuff is a window film with dots printed on it. you want the cut out plastic film that can be shaped with a hair dryer.

To echo the comments above. It does look great!

However, definitely impairs light output. I would be inclined to fit it with the heat from a hair dryer to aid the "forming" to a curved surface. Also, ideally remove each lamp from the bumper to do it.

Bear in mind though, particularly on the headlights, the Fly-eye WILL leave an impression. I have polished a set of headlights from 800 -3000 grit before and have still been able to make out the pattern afterwards.

However, as always, ultimately, the choice is yours.

I practiced fitting this on my motorbike light's without a problem, mind I never ride it at night so not too worried about light output

I don't find it effects projector lights that much.....maybe worse on reflector headlights though.
