Like how he was committed on turning all lights off. Respect
Amazing work and explanation. You are the Bob Ross of wrapping love the vids!! Thanks
This is a very helpful tutorial. I have this car and I wanted to see the difference between the light and dark smoke. Thank you !!
Always bringing the best products and tutorials in vinyl wrap. CK the Greatest Wrapper Alive! Too cool!Cool! That's some badass lens tint.
thank you for taking the time out and producing these videos for everyone. May God bless you!
You have the hands and control of a Brain Surgeon! Love watching you do those wraps with so much knowledge and confidence and being able to describe at the same time! Thank you for sharing such an amazing talent!
Very informative video. I greatly appreciate the time you took to explain every step in detail.
I use a piece of he scrap vinyl to remove caps. Just press the adhesive side to a corner and lift straight up. Works every time.
Honestly, I hate the way it looks but I've never been a fan of tints on headlights/tail lights. However, this presentation is top notch as always, CK. Thanks.
The way it looks depends on the car but my problem is with police. The plastic ones can be put on for car shows or cruising the beach and taken off the rest of the time. These wraps are semi-permanent and it's gonna hurt your wallet if cops give you a hard time. Slightly different but happened to me when I tinted my entire front windshield with 50% tint and had to remove it a couple months later. If you self install it's only a couple bucks but customers will get pissed and cry foul.
Thanks so much for the vid. I feel comfortable trying this after watching you explain the process. I bought extra film just in case though! As far as the light emitted by the tail lights, There was a noticable difference between the light and dark smoke imo. I'm glad I got the light smoke. The dark looks good but I feel that's just asking to get pulled over rocking that dark smoke. Thanks a bunch for the tips and advice!
Hey Christian
I'm thankful for your tutorials and they've helped me to understand TECHNIQUE and to get the best performance from the product with the use of the right tools. I've not been overly inclined towards tinting of exterior tights for a few reasons. The cosmetic reason appeals to me, for instance, I am doing a complete blackout restoration on my car. Headlamps and tail lamps are being retrofitted, so there is going to be some finesse in their appearance, but the greatest functionality is focused light output. I might want a light smoked tint to allow the lamps to blend with the body of the car. I am not even giving a thought to nightshade paint (tinted clearcoat). The moment that the law becomes strict about impairments to light output, I'll want to tear it off with a finger nail.
So, a couple of comments.
What you're referring to is called a light meter or lux meter. Its my humble opinion that in order to support your claims of limited loss of light (there will always be a loss) is through the use of a light meter. Where headlights specifically are concerned, one must adopt a different driving style if they choose fashion over function, and the light meter is going to either support or oppose your claims - scientifically. I'm assuming that part of the lessons in choice of vinyl and various applications, you want to edify people in making informed decisions. So, how about backing it up with facts that they can see? It was obvious to see the loss of light output with the darker tint, but it hasn't been measured for people to understand the impact on lighting and how severely it can be in real world driving. The camera adjusting automatically is skewing the light output that we can see on whatever display we're using.
Park the car in front a wall from about 25 feet, turn off all the lights in the shop and use the light meter to display the facts and the percentage that is lost due to tint - before and after. BMW and other manufacturers produce insanely bright exterior lights and it does appear that they are more than adequate for the tail lamps... as long as they can be visible enough in the daytime. Reading the lux for tail lamps may not be as practical as it is for headlamps since we're driving forward most of the time.
I think that if you use the light meter, you can help to edify and emphasise that safety is a concern that should not be ignored, particularly for street use. If its strictly a show-car, then no one really cares, right?
Great video brother as usual thank you for your time !
Great informational video. Thank you for taking the time to make this.💪🏽
Great video. I wasn't sure on what tint to apply to my tundra but now my decision is made
Great work! Thank you for all of the content!
Just got my VViViD tint!!! cant wait to install it
Wow that gloss is insane on a tint!
Awesome video so satisfying to watch great explanation.. just awesome 👍🏽🙂
Fantastic comparison video, really informative.
I did it to my car (taillights) last summer, it's looks very good but yours better a little :) congrats again.
Thank you for your awesome vids and detailed explanations. What I would love to see (have yet to see a video showing this with this new tint) is light output of non tinted headlight vs light smoke in real life situation...ie. on a dark road, or even outside against a wall, in the dark. Seeing just the tinted headlight itself with the lights on doesn't really help as it does not give any indication of how light output is impacted on the road at night. For me, this is critical.
on this review, this gentlemen did indeed shown the differences. i appreciated for his affords that's why I finished the whole clip. Sadly, I noticed the quality of front lights. but that doesn't change the fact as for the title, he isn't advertising for his own job but to show the differences, that's why i left comment here. please keep it up my friend for the good job :)
Thanks for the comparison!
Incredible work, u make this look too easy.
Excellent tutorial.
Sometime this year I'm going to fully wrap my A3. Hope I don't mess it up!
Awesomeness CK Boss 🙌👑💞
love the uncut vids
Top quality job!
this channel is such a great inspiration for creative folks like myself!
I guess I'm an "in your face" guy. I preferred the darker look. Didn't think I'd like the headlights tinted, seems counterproductive but I did. Thanks for going into such detail!
I think I might be ready for baby steps. Meaning, side marker lights first, tail lights next then decide if i am ready for a carbon fiber hood. Thanks for this.
Just wow! Good work…
Hell yeah!!! Those lights show through great! SO AIR RELEASE, AND memory? Does it have that hexagon look to it still? 🤔
Thank you so much for this video!
Your the Chris Fix of vinyl wraps!
That'd be an awesome collaboration video..?
CK please show the dark smoke tint I tried the last version and it was scary driving at night I wanted to see if this new version has better light penetration
Thank you for posting this video. I have a question how do you handle a taillight that's not flat?
The darker one is just gonna be a cop magnet
It depends on each state laws
Questions for you please tell me this light headlight flim tint on ,
My 2013 ford escape led work with it hook up my son with t shirt and stickers at Toronto ont shop
@donaldubdegrove6763 hard read Grammer your writing is. What are you trying to say??? lol...just messin with ya
Luv the videos been doing my stuff on my vehicles for a few years as I watch your vids and try. Nothing like yours Not easy. Bought this stuff from vivid the light smoke. Trying to do my tail lights on 21 1500 classic ram warlock led sport lights. Running outta tint. Trying my patience. any advice.
i plan on doing both my tailights, maybe my headlights but they are already clear with a black inside, but i am for sure doing side reflectors and side turn signals, how long do you think i would need for that, 1ft x 8ft, 1ft x 16ft, 1ft x 32ft
do you have a video like this for a older car with halogen tail lights?
Have you had much experience tinting a Hyundai Palisade tail light? It’s been kicking my ass trying to tint it. So many sharp angles and crazy pulls imo.
Love your channel. I'm curious if you've ever wrap tinted a Scion tC 11-14. I've been on a struggle bus trying to get them looking good. I have tint on them and is passable standing back, but geez, it looks like a 5 year old did it when you get close. They have 3 convex "bubbles" that protrude significantly across the face of the lens. No matter how I try to do the initial stretch, I end up fighting with bunching one way or another around those globe-like protrusions. If these lights aren't the biggest PITA out there, they have to be close. Any tips?
What heat level do you run your gun at for these “quick hit” projects?
Nice job! How does the film hold up against heat from the headlight?
Ya make it look effortless
Hi , Very nice result and excellent work! Tell me, I would like to have this film for my Vw Passat B6 Variant for the front and rear lights! I have been on the Vvivid site but they only offer two sizes (16ft x 10 ft and 16 ft x 30 ft), can we have other sizes ? Thanks
Can you use a soapy water spray to help while applying it?
Nice job. Do we have to buy a full roll or will you sell precut.
The light smoke looks way better. It doesn't take away the design of the actual light. I'd rather nothing on them bc I like the way most vehicles lights look. Doing this was better on older vehicles when they didn't have cool looking lights.
So I have a 2012 Range Rover and the headlights have a clear protective coat over it it's like a hard shell plastic do I need to remove that before tanning or go over it
God daym it....ANOTHER film I NEED shit
Thank you
How does the tint hold up in automatic car washes?? I don't have a lot of time to hand wash my car so I have to run through the car wash about 3-4 times a month.
light smoke is the one
I just did my Q7 bumper lights last night ... I've used laminX wet app on my past several vehicles but wanted to give this product a try as the optical clarity and film color looked really good in your video and you had great things to say about it.
Pretty straight forward and easy install ... the heat app makes it easy to work around curves and bunching. The end result is there's a bit of isolated areas of haze and very light streaking/glue lines, even though I didn't really stretch the material (maybe these are air release channels? I'm new to dry app tint so not sure what I'm looking at) ... I didn't do the initial heat and stretch as my lights are very flat and it was a simple lay down and smooth out, and I was a little paranoid about glue lines from heat stretch ... from my understanding the glue lines are a result of stretching the material to the point the glue becomes separated and uneven on the material (just like vinyl wrap). Does the initial heat before laying it down relax the glue and help with optical clarity?
I'm hoping as these set on the car over time things will dissapate. LaminX used to have similar results immediately after but the optical clarity & consistency worked itself out over the course of a week or two. Hopefully this product is similar and the glue gets comfortable on the lense and evens out.
So just an update ... after two days all of the glue/haze issues have evened out and resolved. The film looks fantastic. You can't really tell there's even an aftermarket tint treatment because it's so glossy. Overall very pleased with the result.
@@juicebox6662 I was just about to ask how it cleared up. The air channels are very small, so it's difficult to get all of the air out immediately. I noticed that it usually takes a few days to clear
Hi. I’m hoping you could offer me some help and guidance please…
I’m about to tint my headlight on a 2006 Range Rover Sport but there is a circular raised section for the high beam.
Could you please advise me on the best way to work round this please?
Like, start on the raised and shrink outwards or finish on the raised bit?
(I can’t attach a picture here but if you look up 2006 Range Rover Sport L320 headlight, you’ll see what I’m talking about)
Many thanks.
I live in the high Desert of California.
How long does wrap last?
thanks man i did my headlights with your advice the taillights ware alredy done wen i did by my car.
Can this be used on a 2020 F150 with BLIS? Those taillights have that gap across the center.
Great vid
CK - Have you seen/used VViViD+ Ultimate Tints Super Light Smoke Headlight Taillight Tint Vinyl Wrap? I understand that it is a new product and not available to the general public yet? I am really interested in trying this out (the other colors are a little too dark for my liking on a headlight).
What kind of blow dryer that is?
They both look great. I do like the light smoke better on the headlights. Just seemed more of a defined lighting. Looking forward to trying it out.
Where do we order from ?
Not a fan of tinting headlights, but the tail light on the left side looks killer. Might get mine done too.
Whats the purpose of using soap water for tints?
Nice!
Does vvivid have ultimate mid smoke?
I'm sure this was asked before, but is it illegal to tint the headlight and trail lights in Ontario?
Hi my friend, I like this new product, lust a question, as I see this is an amazing product, but what do you think about Luxe? , lately I see a lot good comments but I am deciding bet the both, thanks for the information. And why this one is cheaper than the older version?
As someone that has installed both and do everyday Luxe is a superior film. For install and finished product. Never had to remove Luxe. Can't say the same for the latter.
I have an obsidian 2016 Lexus RC200t. How dark/ smoked would you recommend for the taillights ?
I don't have a recommendation. You could just paint them black if you like it that way. I can't really comment because everyone has their own personal style and taste.
@CKWraps Yea, you're right, thanks man.
cool! it reduced the glare a lot i bet thats great for the next drivers eyes :D
You should do a 2019 to 2022 Mazda 3 hatchback taillight tint
Would it be easier or harder to do the headlights out of the car? I already have them out for something else just wondering if I should tint before putting them back in or not. Thanks great video.
Easier when mounted
Hi CK wraps . We installed the Vivid ultimate light smoke. I'm a professional wrap installer of 10 years. We used this product for the first time on my bosses Porche Panamera. Was easy to use and apply. Only used a little heat on it. It looks great but there are haze like marks throughout the material. If the sunlight catches it you can see a hazing effect throughout the material. I even post heated it and it's been about two weeks since I completed it. It hasn't gone aways. Any suggestions on how to not have the hazing marks ?
Hey Christian, this film looks great and It goes on pretty easy. The gloss compared to the previous headlight film is awesome. Unfortunately I cant seem to get a final result without glue lines behind it, every time the film is pulled off the light to readjust or flatten it out, it leaves stress marks on the glue. Heat does help to get rid of the lines a little bit but some of them just don't disappear and leaves very noticeable lines behind the film. Any advice you have to avoid them or is it just how this film is.
thanks in advance
Depending on your experience this is a bit more of an advanced level of tint. It requires minimal movement and repositioning in order to achieve the best results. Material handling is very important and as you gain more experience your handling will improve
@@CKWraps thanx for taking the time to reply. I appreciate your time and knowledge
This seems to be a big issue. At least for the front lights. I'd love to see how this job looks with the lights on. Most likely still has glue streaks. It would make me feel better if he showed with lights on. I've tried hard to install without lifting and STILL get glue streaks. If he still gets glue marks then I know there is nothing I can do. Almost seems like there isn't enough adhesive on the wrap and goes on kind of dry (in a matter of speaking) causing streaking, hazing , fogging . Rear lights look ok because they are not clear lenses.(in a matter of speaking)
@@RobertsRestorations He says to apply a little bit of heat, and then let it cool off and then stretch. You don't want to stretch the tint film when its hot as it will leave a glue line.
Searched your videos for how to’s for paint protection film. Couldn’t find any. Any tips? I know techwraps has a ppf line and is a brand you frequently use.
I have the PPF videos on my website www.ckwraps.com
Is that a bubbles free?
My problem on my BMW X3 is I tinted the tail lights twice. when I tint them I’m able to shrink the tint perfectly and it conforms to the light and I’m happy with the result but that same day or the next day it’ll start peeling on the corners I’m not sure why, any tips?
You probably stretched the tint and applied too much tension and when it cools, it peels off from the edges
So is taillight tint the same as window tint?? Does anyone know?
I have a G70 with LED lights. By far the brightest headlights of any car I've ever owned. I put the vvivid light smoke tint on my headlights, it lowered my light output so much that it's borderline unsafe to drive at night. I drive 90% back roads without street lights and I don't feel comfortable even going the speed limit because there isn't enough light on the road ahead.
It's just something to think about. Even the light smoke is too dark for me. It would be more acceptable in the summer months with more daylight hours, but as of this time of year, most of my driving is in the dark. It had to come off. If I get brave enough, I'll open them up and paint them black.
theres "lighter" smoke tints from stek, it's called dynoshade.
I agree - I used Vvivid's holographic hex, clear wrap on my headlights and while I think it looks amazing, I STILL noticed decreased light output during dark drives, and that's with an almost completely clear wrap - I can't imagine the decrease in output when using a dark tint... definitely something to consider.
The "dark" secret nobody tells you. These types of tints are unsafe and ridiculous. Do they look cool? I guess if you don't realize how detrimental they are...
I tried to order but it wouldn’t ship to Canada
headlight before & after on wall please
What temp should my gun be for headlight tint???
I think I'm using too high or too low of a heat
Any first timers do their lights? I’m on the fence if I should try it.
how's the life of this product? last time i used vvivid tint the film started falling off the adhesive that became brittle and white after 2 years. removal was a nightmare as well.
Even the previous generation I had lasted me 3 years on my car in the hot sun too. It removed without leaving adhesive behind. I even did a video on it for CZcams. This new version is supposed to last even longer
Im so nervous to tint my own headlights. Mainly because it’s my first time and I don’t want to fuck up and waste the tint that I bought.
***** NEED HELP ***** I dont want to waste the tint film.. will a hair dryer do the job or will it not be hot enough?
I might have my answer... 17:15 (have the heat gun at maximum heat) thats a bumer... Still... did someone ever tried with a hair dryer or should i buy/rent a heat gun?
What yellow tape is that
Hey bro I have done all my own cars thanks to you. Currently just finishing my new M5 Competition I have to say it does look good but when light hits it it looks pretty bad. I'm no expert but even the spots it layed down on and never was touched again you can see the glue everywhere.
I guarantee this has got to be an issue with this stuff. Like I said I'm no expert but I'd feel comfortable doing a job along side of you any day except days that end with a Y. Lol
No really please tell me it's an issue?
It would be difficult to assess the issue without seeing what it looks like.
@@CKWraps Thanks for the reply I found if you put some heat on it and use a quality micro fiber and go over a few times it gets much better. I'm thinking in the summer time, prolly wouldn't have much trouble. It's been pretty cold at night here in Nor Cal. Garage is warmer but still pretty cold.
It's almost like it needs to cure out in hot sun. Idk 🤷♂️ Thanks Again! And thanks for the videos, I've watched 100s maybe over a 1000 of how to videos and you sir are in the top 5 for sure! To the point, get it done , have a nice day. Thanks again!
@@CKWraps I also wanted to clarify I see it when I shine an led light on it. It hasn't been in the sun yet as I'm doing a bunch of mods, so hopefully it's fine. Anyway that's what I meant by light hitting it.
Im in Norcal and same issue ... hoping the optical clarity will improve and the glue will even itself out over time. Did yours end up evening out?@@Catchmeifyoucan209Stockton
@CK Wrap
Hi,
From which countru r u?
I wanna see you wrap a C6 with morimotto taillights 😂
I'd just like to say maybe if you left 1/2 of one light without any film on it you could show what the light was without any film on it when you turn the cars lights on.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀
"not easier to tint these lights off the car" Yeah I found that out the hard way. On the vehicle is so much easier.
This is fucking art bro! Im trying mine now for first time and its taking lots of trial and error but it fascinating! Slowly learning. 2012 camry if you ever have wrapped or look at the light dimensions let me know of any tips!
Looking for a respectable and Tint/wrap shot in Los Angles area….competitive pricing. I got a quote from a a wrap/tint shop in Pasadena area that wanted $1000 for PPF on rocker panels only. …rather watch Christian and do it myself!
Will this be available for europeans?
Yes! We ship to Europe from our International shop! Link is in the description of this video!
