here you go, this is from member Akalius.


***For best results keep the stickers out of the heat prior to doing the application. As the heat will make the clear masking peel off of the euro sets and will make your install harder.***
Wet Application: For best results, keep stickers out of the heat prior to application.
1. Clean the area with a solution of 1/2 water, 1/2 alcohol.
2. Make sure the area is completely dry and free of debris.
3. Wet the surface area where the sticker is to be applied
4. Peel off the white backing sheet and wet the back of the sticker where it is sticky. Make sure it is very damp.
5. Make sure you do NOT peel off the CLEAR masking layer.
6. Carefully, position the sticker starting from the outer corner of your headlight, holding the whole sticker over where you would like for it to be applied, and do not apply the whole sticker all at once. ( The top black edge of the overlay should go exactly over the black outline of the headlight. If this is done correctly there will be no orange visible.)
7. Once the outer corner is on and aligned, use the edge of a credit card to apply the sticker, starting from the outer corner of the headlight working your way in using smooth swiping motion. (There shouldn't be any bubbles if the sticker is applied evenly. original.gif)
8. Once you have applied the sticker, if there are still bubbles, you can easily swipe them out using the edge of a credit card or simply use your fingertips to push them out.
9. Let the stickers settle, with the clear masking layer still on, for 2 hours.
10. Repeat on other side.
11. Once your stickers have settled, carefully peel off the clear masking layer from both headlights.

Enjoy your new look! grin.gif

Anyone else get the euro stickers only to remove them a few months or weeks later because you realized that you put stickers on your BMW?

Well, I ordered these stickers from Akalius long time ago because I got so excited with these stickers and it look good but when I got it and try to put it on my car then I realized that my car is LCI model which does not have the orange reflector on the side! But it's all cool 'cause I get to use it on my gf's car and it made a huge difference!

I dunno, I liked it at first, but then after a time I ripped them clean off in a fit of rage realizing I had cheap stickers on my Bimmer.

If I was to do that I'd just get LCI front lights. But those are like $2000+
