Spray the surface of the headlights with the solution.

Align the lens cover with the top portion of the lights.

Use the squeegee or your fingers to GENTLY push out the water underneath the top straight edges.

Then use a hair dryer, under low heat, to go over the top edges.  This will slowly shrink the lens cover, dry out the water, and help the top edges stick so you can work on the other parts.

Once the top edges are properly aligned, you can then work on the side edges by putting one finger on the bottom corner while running a hair dryer GENTLY on low heat over the lens cover.  This will slowly shrink the film down and conform it over the curves of the headlight housing.

Continue to run a combination of low heat and gentle force from either your fingers or a squeegee to conform the lens cover. Too much heat or too much force will shrink and stretch the lens cover too quickly, which will cause deformities and undesirable results.

If the surface dries out before you’re done, you can always spray more solution underneath.

Small bubbles at the edges can be eliminated by running a hair dryer on low heat and running your fingers gently over it.  This will slowly shrink the film and conform it to the curves.  Remember to use gentle force and low heat.  Too much heat will cause the cover to shrink too quickly, and too much force can cause the cover to wrinkle and stretch.

The problematic areas at the bottom can be eliminated by shrinking the film slowly, running the hair dryer on low heat and gently pressing some force from your fingers or squeegee.

The end result, after a few weeks when most water bubbles have cleared.

Note:  Small bubbles and light haze are common using the wet method.  They will eventually dry out and disappear.  Big bubbles can be eliminated by using a needle to poke a small hole, and then push out the solution.  Below is a typical bubbles that you may see immediately after installation, but will eventually dry up and clear out after a few weeks.  For more tips, please see  http://www.scratchon.com/instructions/installation-tips/.
