I only got to take a night shot with running lights, lol my leg couldn't reach the brake pedal :P

Still very bright (need LED number plate lights).

Also yeah i needed to cut it but that was a sinch, it was the getting the bubbles out that was the trouble.

Well it comes in rectangular sheets (2).

It's just a case of starting at one end and rubbing it on as you move across making sure you get all the bubbles out.

If you don't get them out you'll need to start again coz it's near impossible to work them out when you finish.

Also over the indicators and other curves you need to stretch the film but it does work 100%.

I found it easy, but it did take a bit of time.

This is the one you need;

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TAIL-LIGHTS-LIGH ... 4aa561adbc

Same as mine and the 10 inch by 24 inch is perfect.

You won't have much left over but if you apply it properly its enough.

I live in melbourne so we don't have this pink slip crap.

I'm pretty sure it would be roadworthy, cars registered anyway so unless i get a canary i won't need to get one until i sell it.

At the price you can't really be terribly disappointed if it's not to your liking.

Cheap mods ftw!
