Default Vinyl Installers

I just bought some vinyl eyelids for my headlights and taillights and the install is more difficult than anticipated. Do you guys recommend any local vinyl installers who can put these on for me?

Thanks for any help!

not sure of any installers up your area, but for these if you put some soapy water down on the headlight, it will help you be able to place it how you would like. after that you can use a blow dryer to air it out and help get bubbles out. just a suggestion to try if you want to try again

X2 on the soap+water +blow dryer.

When drying it, put a credit card in a terry cloth or microfiber towel, and use the flat edge to smooth it out. Helps get all the bubbles out.
