Well, After James sorting me out with some headlight tinting film, I thought I should get onto it ASAP while I got the chance.
Now I haven't done the best job in the world, and to be quite frank it was extremely difficult to get the film to "Not crease" but overall I do like the look, it hinds some of the stone chips in my headlights and the errors I could not fix can only be seen up close so I am happy (for now). :)
let the pictures do the talking.

Wow what have I started lol thanks or all the comments. My lights still work fine as James said I'm using os :)

Think with lamin x (if that is the honeycomb stuff) then it's easier to work with so it can be done in place but with that Chinese stuff its very thick so you need to heat it gently and proper pull it round!!!
