Red out kit install on xB (updated)
I got my red out kit today from bluebatmobile :D so here's how it went on incase anyone was interested.
Tools needed: Rubbing alcohol
Cotton *****
Soapy Water
Sponge (for application of water)
Blow dryer
Optional: A very very very very very sharp Xacto knife
Speed square
First remove the lights from the xB via two 10mm nuts on the inner pannel in the back. After removal clean THOURGHLY with rubbing alcohol removing everything from the lens
Next I found it easiest to apply the top piece first seeing as its the one that has to curve most.
Be sure to pay close attention to the outer edges.
Then apply generously apply soapy water to the lense and place the overlay inplace. Its best to align the top edge first and the outer edge next, working the soap soultion from the top to bottom. Once it is in place work out the bubbles and have patientice in getting the creases out. It helps adhesion to heat it up with the hair dryer. Depending on if u want the reverse lights cut out or not you're done. If you want the reverse lights cut out use a speed square to make a straight line and lightly drag your xacto knife along the edge making sure not to push too hard. When your done it should look something like this...............
And thats all folks! PEACE
