Vinyl Transparent Films are overlays that come in many colors. They can be applied onto headlights, tail lights, and anything that light can show through. You can purchase these anywhere that sells decals. So I bought mines at Fast Signs.
Price depends on the size you specifically want. I use these films to add stlye to my car. For example my fog lights used to be white and I decided to vinyl them yellow to add some stlye to my car. When applying them to round objects like my fog lights, you would first need some experience in tinting windows inorder to vinyl up different shapes, but some will be able to just do it without any experience in tinting.
What I’m about to do is customize my clocks color output because I don’t like the color. So I’m going to make it yellow. First step is to remove the clock from the car. Every vehicle has its ways of removing it. For my car particular I just use a flat head and pry it out.
Once you have taken it out, open it up with the necessary tools you would need for your clock. Mines just needed a philips.
Next find its main clock output source.
Now cut a piece of the Vinyl Film. You don’t have to measure it because after you put it on you will be able to trim off the excess.
Now peel and stick it on to the screen.
Use a razor blade. Trim to fit
THE RESULTS
Before
AFTER
If you end up not liking the color you chose, you can always remove the vinyl film and try a different color. Here is another example, but in red.
Other Stuff I vinyed
My bike’s Light and my cars fog lights. There are many things out there that you can vinyl in different colors to add some stlye and uniqueness.
What we have here are some aftermarket fog lights that is going to be installed onto a DA (Integra). Just to give its JDM look I tinted them yellow and since the film are transparent, after everything is done it should light up as yellow. These films can be found at FAST SIGNS or EBAY or any other place that sells graphics. Just ask for Vinyl Transparent Film.
First I cutted out the film to cover the whole lens.
Then I used a hair dryer to heat up the film so it can go over the edges smoothly. I recommend getting a heat gun, because it will make the whole process much faster. In this case I lost my heat gun so I had no other choice but to use a hair dryer.
Now use a razor blade and trim out the excess.
After you trim it should look like the above.
Finish. Special thanks to William.
