Can anyone tell me how you manage to keep your indicator lighting up orange (ie legal) with red film over the orange glass? I assume installing a yellow bulb rather than the stock clear one would still only result in a half red/half orange indicator effect?
Could you make another video - maybe standing 10 feet back and filming? I'd love to see what it looks like as a whole. I ordered some red vinyl tonight - i don't think I bought the right color red. nice video.
@SuperBowser707 From the manufacutres web site they claim Outdoor Durability (based on vertical surface exposure) 7 years for colors. I did my tails 1 1/2 years ago, and redid the right one for the video demo. I always wash my car at the coin op. car wash and "blast" them with the high pressure wand. I have yet to have to replace the film due to peeling. I did my wife's WRX tails almost 2 years ago. Her car being a daily driver gets wash a lot more than the Porsche and has no peeling at all.
@DThaeman If it is the red vinyl just peel it off. You may need to heat it up in the sun to make it come off easier. If it was painted you my have to wetsand it off with 2500 grit sandpaper followed up with 3000 grit and then polish it with Meguiars PlastX.
No offense taken, on the 944 it is not necessary to remove them, being that your only tinting the flat surfaces. When I did my 08 STI I did remove them in order to wrap the film around the edges of the tail lights. They were a little harder to do because of the compound curve, and having to handle them off the car covered with soapy water.
Già fatto,ho usato una bomboletta per frecce,con passata di lucido.

@OzJustin The indicator now flashes red. I haven't had any legal issues with the red turn signals nor the red reverse lights.

how long does the vinyl stay on? cause it seems like it would just peel off after a few weeks

Hi, I am not trying to be a smart-&ss here and I don't have any experience in doing so, but wouldn't it be a lot easier to remove the lens first?
