Grasp the lens firmly and slide it to the right. It feels scarier than it really is ;) I was nervous as hell on the first one. Lol!

Slide both sides to the right? So slide the driver side one towards the back of the car and slide the passanger side one towards the front of the car? Sorry for the questions I dont want to mess them up...

Thats right... Ive actually been using a grey tint... Already did the front side markers, the bottom of the tail lights and the bottom reflectors on the rear bumper.. Im debating cutting out the back of the honeycombs and painting the trim around them... we'll see... I will take some pics when finished... Thanks for the info!!!

O MY GOD.... Some one tell me the secret on how to tint these things... LOL I have used about a full roll of tint and I cant get them to stick on where the light curves, busted out the heat gun and everything, Ive tinted a bunch of things in my day, and everything on this car, but this lens is kickin my ass.... I cant believe I've spent this much time doin such a "simple" mod..... Im about to get some spray paint.... Is this a somewhat difficult thing to do or am I retarted...

I would have just sprayed with Niteshades.... tinting film will have trouble on small/tight curved surfaces

Its hard to find a body shop that does the little things to make it right.....

If you want them tinted go find a body shop that tints tails and such.
Forget the stick on junk.

It looks good, but I had to slide forward first and then pull out the rear first...

So, I'm sorry I haven't picked this up by now, but I can't seem to get my sidemarker off. I assume you mean to slide the clear lens off from the black plastic behind it? I've tried sliding both to the front of the car and to the rear, and it won't move at all. Did you use your hands or some tool?

The clear marker and black plastic come out as one piece...

yeah, it's all one piece. Just use your hands, it'll slide towards the front of the car and then just pull the back of it out towards you.
