I'm running LED reverse lights that are pretty bright, and the film is pretty light. I'm looking forward to seeing your updates...

Thanks for your help.
Tension sucks. When I wrapped my roof rails, I used the tape to help get the vinyl deep into the crevice. Otherwise it was always getting stuck and leaving air bubbles.

Not a fan of the tint design but this shows the process pretty well


Thanks for the tips on reverse LEDs. That’s the one bulb I didn’t replace. I had heard the poor design of the housing is the limiting factor so maybe I’ll try that instead of cutting out the reverse light in the film.
