Second: stick the vinyl on the light and make sure you dont have and air bubbles under the vinyl, i used a credit card when i was putting the vinyl on

Third: start at the top and push the vinyl down so i wll stick on the edge

Fourth: turn the blow dryer on and point it where you just rounded the corner, and the the vinyl will start to melt and take shape of the corner and the edge, complete this on all sides

You can also add more layers of the vinyl if you want them to be darker
But they are pretty close to perfectly the same color as the OEM ones with one layer
If you have and questions feel free to ask me, and if you are scared to do this on your own i can do it for a price, pm me if you them done by me
SO GOOD LUCK AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THE DIY
