First separate your light covers (They should be stuck together)

Clean and dry your headlight thoroughly with some Windex or glass cleaner. Once you have done this dry fit the cover over the headlight to make sure its the right one.

Start off at the inner corner peal back about an inch off the inner corner of the cover, and set it on the light. Use your blue applier to apply the corner to the headlight firmly. When you get the corner on put the headlight cover against the headlight to make sure it’s going to line up. You may have to remove the corner and angle the Cover up or down.

Once you think you have it right, peal back about half inch to an inch of the paper, and once again use the blue applier to apply the film firmly. Your going to peal back an half inch to an inch each time and apply it all the way back to the paper. If you get a bubble pull the film back and re-apply it.

Once you have gotten it all set cut any extra off.

Once you have finished that go around the corners with a hair dryer pressing down firmly to seal it up. Also the tC headlights have lettering on them so turn on the brights and let the film heat up once it heats up go over the letters with the applier.


Here are the final pictures, I fixed the driver side headlight.

Most of the tools you need to do this come in the package along with some samples of Rock Blocker's other products. Instructions are good very detailed. The film is pretty thick and should hold up well. I choose Blue for mine being Chad informed me smoke will have some effect on the headlights brightness. All and all very good mod for the price great looks great Protection.

Paul,

That is a very nice write-up on the headlight protection installation for the tC. Thanks so much doing it for members of this site. I am sure anyone can install the product with these instructions.

Chad

Nice write up, wil try.

These overlays remind me of the ClearGuard Protective overlays JINSU sells. How thick is the film? I'm guessing they are thicker than the film BlueBatmobile uses, but the ClearGuard ones are pretty thick... Is the material breathable?

Also, is it just me or do the overlays not cover the headlight completely? ...or is that an install error? :P

Pictures in question:

I was thinking about applying painted eyelids to my headlights. Should I apply this overlay before adhearing the eyelids? Or would i need to trim the film?

Any suggestions?

Also, I've heard some states don't allow colored lens? Anyone have any problems with this?

Miko,

For some reason I couldn't get the Driver side to line up. The pass side went on 123 and covored most of the light. The driver side still covers up most of it there is about a half inch or smaller edge where the film ends and the headlight continues. In that picture it looks weird because the tC has those chrome Eyelids. Non the less im going to buy another set and try that headlight again.

For anyone look for our Light Protection please visit our site here

PS. We choose not to call them overlays since the film is not just tint, but actual light protection. I noticed the driver side being a little short, But as Kaeon said he ran into a little of trouble for the drivers head.

If we cen help with anything else please feel free to let us know.

Nice job :) :clap:

is it ok to use water with some soap when applying this as normal vinyl or does the thickness effect that?

We recommend water and alcohol, but you can use soap and water if you want too.

You can't post photos from your computer you must host them first

There's mine. I used alcohol to clean the lights. I'll take better pics at a later date. The install took me about 45 min. Very easy and highly recommended.

I know the mask is not favored, but in this world of SUVs, Trucks (especially the ones with big tires and no flaps) and Big Rigs everywhere it's staying.

Oh and yeah, yeah I know I should of used a tripod. Don't have one, but I'll get one at some point in my life. Thank you though.

okay so my pics aren't posting, and it won't let me edit. But the links for photo bucket work.

Thats all good. Thanks for the pics. We will be posting pics of our new car soon.

I went on to rockblockers site the other day and was snooping around and I came across a disclaimer. I'm sure that its just a mandatory requirement but it said to check with your local law enforcement to make sure they're legal in your area/state. now I'm wondering, anyone in Florida have the blue tinted ones and if so, have you had any problems with the cops?

That is correct please check with your local law enforcement laws for your state if you are unsure whether or not you can have these on your cars.


BTW, I wouldnt call that "snooping" I would call that doing your honework. We have not had or heard of any complaints in the two years that we have been carrying this product. We even have blue on our cars. People are right you can see better at night with them.

I live in FLA no problems yet and I have those little blue daytime lights in my headlights so during the day they are really blue. Im sure if your just driving normal and not causing any attention to yourself you will be fine. Of course if your hauling butt racing and the cops pull you over im sure they will say something about it.

when you mis the water and alcohol, what should the mixture be?

Bump for RockBlocker.net!! :clap:

...on another note, Tova is now rocking her new decals!

Thanks Tova!!! I heard you have been a busy bee on ScionGirls

I'm all over the place!! :clap: Counting down the days till I get the coil overs on. :clap:

Chad, I have questions about the light protection kits available for the xB (since I want breakage protection, not color).

(1) How thick is the 'film?'
(2) What does the "Light Protection Kit for Scion xB, Head Light Protection Kit and turn Signal Kit" cover that the "Light Protection Film for 2004 - 2005 Scion xB - Headlight Kit" doesn't, since it is all one plastic lens?
(3) Is it urethane or vinyl?

Thanks!

It is 20 mil,

The headlight kit is just that. Then there is a headlight and fog light kit.

High impact resistant vinyl. Urethane only goes to 14 mil.

kinda side tracking here.. but i know that this is for damage against rocks.

any chance this will help gets bug guts off my lights as well? easier? is it safe? how do you clean these?

it could depends how often you wash your ride. You wash wand wax them like the rest of the car.

yes it protects against bugs as well, if you wash your car regularly (i wash mine weekly) then yes it's also easier to clean your headlights. as far as safety they're completely safe but note that your light output with the stock light bulbs is cut alot if you get the smoke. i'm put luminics in this week so i'll be posting up comparsion of the smoke in different light output.
