what you do i use water, that way you can keep reapplying the vinyl.
spray water on the actual vinyl then place it over your tail light. there will be bubbles but its just water so just use a ruler or something to remove the water bubbles.

water is a much easier method.

they can't defect you as long as your lights are visible from 200m
Any modification to a light is illegal.
I spoke to my neighbour who's a pig from QLD Transport and he said as much as he'd want to give me a defect, he can't as long as the light is still visible from 200m. He may be wrong but I've never been hassled about it anyway.
