As title says, does anyone know how much I need to order per front head light? Also, how exactly to you apply it to your lights as they arent flat...

Thanks.

depends what color you goin for there bud???

Darker shades i'd say go with one application....but i found that when i did my headlights with yellow i need 2 sheets per light as 1 sheet looked like someone p*ssed on my headlights

also get a good strong blowdryer one heated you can manipulate the laminex into any shape (you just require patience and a steady hand) and soap up the lights before applying so that if you indeed make an error you can start over....overall Laminex is a very forgiving material to work with and it also breathes so the air bubble and water spots will dissapear in a week or two (depends how much sun there is to draw it out though - i suggest drive with your headlights on day or night to heat up the air and liquid to evap

Cheers for that, I've not had and experience with it before so I don't now how to use it.
What I meant was, what size sheets do I need to cover the front headlights, it has 12 x 4 as normal I think, I just wondered if anyone new what size I needed.

So your meant to have clean head lights and then have a small amount of water on the lights when your applying the film to it?

My apologies... you will need about Half a metre for each light in front - reason i am unsure to give you measurments is last time i bought laminex i bought it off a roll instead of pre cut sheets hence i could just say how much i required.

but i'd say half metre squared to be sure.
