VViViD Dark Black Headlight Taillight Tint Air-Release Vinyl Wrap Film Roll (12 x 24 2-Roll Pack)

I have some new patio lights that were too bright outwardly. I wanted to keep light coming out of the sides of the glass cover, but not the face. I applied this in one go to the flat glass face with a plastic kitchen bench knife to squeegee it on cleanly as the backing peeled away. Used a razor blade to trim the edges. Will update review if the blazing AZ sun causes any adhesion issues.

I bought this after using VHT Niteshades and hating the look it gave me (not to blame VHT, it just didnt work for my application) I picked this up at the recommendation of youtube, which is also where I researched how to install the product and it seemed pretty straightfoward, and was. However, this film is better suited for less complex surfaces, closer to flat surfaces. when applied to my taillights which are completely rounded in some areas, this film was near impossible without making relief cuts, or cutting out the bad section and putting in a new strip of film in its place. Ive tried everything, heat, more squeegee, stretching and even removal and retrying, but to no avail. The product has started to peel a bit in a corner where my cut was sloppy on the new strip of film where I replaced the wrinkled portions. I didnt like the VHT because the VHT didnt make the red taillight match the gray panel on my trunk. Not something I can knock the product specifically for, but the Vivid film made the colors perfect. No matter what the color under the film is, in daylight, its black with this film. Light transmission is awesome, I dont think it really impacted output at all, another thing that cannot be said for the VHT. But all said, I would like to clear up some misconceptions about this product and its limits; 1. Do not use a heat gun, use a hair dryer, its more than enough heat to apply the film. If you must use a heat gun, keep it on low, I used a hair dryer and managed to melt through the film in places and had to put more on, it doesnt take a fiery hot heat to apply it. 2. There is such thing as too much heat and stretch, if you heat the film and stretch it too far, it will tear and wrinkle, or distort the clarity of the film. That leads me to 3. The air release is more of a gimmick than an actuality. It works on large bubbles, but if you get a finger (long thin crease in the film) DONT RELY ON THE AIR RELEASE, just remove it and re apply the tint. You will crease the tint if you try and squeegee out a finger. and 4. This tint is not self-healing That term was thrown around on the tube quite a bit, but its not. Once it creases, no amount of heat will fix it, just toss it, or cut out the bad section, and do some precision trimming to put a new piece in its place. I personally feel that RVinyl has more options with vehicle specific relief cuts in them, but that doesnt mean the Vivid is a bad product. Im quite split on the true answer of the question, The quality is great, the film adheres to anything, only requires heat and patience, and is a slightly cheaper alternative to buying tinted tailight housings. However the application is so tough it makes achieving even results to be proud of tough, looks great from afar, but then you see where you had a cut in the tape and used a sharpie to fill in the gap. If you have a simpler taillight, maybe one that isint round, or maybe you were doing a simple headlight, I would say go for it, even though the results might not be 100%, the price cant really be beat. But if youre looking for show quality results, check out a tint shop near you. And VHT niteshades is also worth a try at the price point, but its all up to the results you want.

Easy to apply with heat gun. Looks awesome.

I think this is good product. I used it to tint the headlights, fog lights and taillights on my 2004 Ford F150. This was my first attempt at tinting. This procedure requires extreme patience to mold the vinyl wrap to every contour of the object that is being tinted. After tinting the first headlight, I was able to understand a little better of how the vinyl wrap behaved when being stretched and having heat applied from the heat gun. As I continued to wrap the lights, each task seemed easier than the last. You definitely want to make sure you have a Vehicle Vinyl Wrap Window Tint Film Tool Kit. This will help you to smooth out the vinyl and release any air bubbles. I highly recommend cleaning the headlights to the best of your ability before applying the vinyl tint. I had to upgrade my headlight and fog light bulbs to compensate for the darkness of the tint.

Love ViVid. Wrapped side mirror with carbon fiber and gas doors on multiple vehicles. My headlights are pretty hard to wrap. Probably best to take them off of the vehicle but I did it without. Which cause a few more wrinkles than I’d like. Will be redoing the wraps in the future. The dark tint is very dark. Although this is the look I wanted, I’m not sure if it will be okay for night driving. We will see.

Easier to use . With normal tint kits ive used you had to use the Wet apply method with spray bottle with water and a drop of soup. This you literally peel of and on as much as you need to get it right, just have a heat gun or blow...

Easy to work with. Would buy again

Best tint I ever used.. Vivid is the best for headlights and taillights.. Definitely a GREAT buy.!!!!!

This is very high quality stuff and with just a little patience it goes on great. However, for a motorcycle, it might be too dark. My light still comes through, but I probably wouldnt ride at night with this.

Just what I needed
