it works like window tint but a thicker version. just make sure ur bumper is squeeki clean and clear of dust as it makes bubbles in the vinyl. it looks like plastic in the pictures but its only just film :lol: comes in a few sections making it easy to put on. just remember the cleaning prior to fitting n ull be ok.

hey man go for the flyeyes if you want that look, some people dont like the little holes but thats the reason they let out more light than other tints, and from a few feet you can hardly tell the holes are there anyway, i had some on my passat from last year and up until about 2 months ago when i got new lights, it also went through an mot with the flyeyed lights on, ive also done it to my missus' 9n polo so as you can guess i like how they look, before them id never done a tint or anything like it before thats how easy it is... if you start to get a crease peel back to when the crease starts and re-work it as it stretches easily enough

Hey guys... For all those who want to apply that tint film to their rear lights, type in the search box 'Polo 9N Black Smoked Rear Lights (From A 2005 Polo)'.... They looked very nice on my only 9N and as they are the rear lights for a 9n3 they simply just replace you existing lights.... And they probably look better than that tint film as well.... :)

The reflectors on the light are too tinted so they are not visible?

I will post some pics of the rear lights and you can see for yourself! The amount of light shining through is the same as a normal set of rear lights but they look a lot better :D

I understand the light output may be the same however i'm sure law requires you to have reflectors.
I'm looking for simple subtle modifications which don't get the wrong attention of the law :)
