Fog Light Tint Help

I need tips on how to install yellow tint on my fog lights. I've done them before, but never on a lens as curved as the Evo X's. I'm not using any water/soap solution. Just a credit card and blow dryer. It worked on the Honda fogs because they weren't as curved, but the X is a pain in the ***. Any tips would be great! Thanks.

Try maybe using something hotter then a blowdryer, like a heat gun on a low setting. You will definitely need to get a good bit of heat to tighten it around the lens with no fold over flap. The people that did my tail light tint used a heat gun.

yea, I considered it, but I was thinking about doing it without taking out the fogs. Totalownage, did you take out the fog to do this? And did you use a reg blowdryer?

remember to not cut the film to cover the foglight lense completely just enough so its covered visually. the film restricts heat and might burn your film or something else might happen.
