    I think it looks decent especially with the grey paint!

    You can always get brighter bulbs to counteract any reduction in brightness, or just eat more carrots, healthier innit

    hi mate. no the indicators i found harder than the headlights on the curves but just be patient take your time. dont aim for perfection. i got one pretty much perfect but could not match it on the other one but thats soon forgotten once on the car. thats the beauty of the film being black cos minor imperfections cant be seen at all.

    BTW - iwant to stay legal so will avoid those 100w LED type bulbs and also at the moment HIDS kits etc are off limits but I have done some digging around and found the latest
    Osram H1 Night Breaker Unlimited bulbs for sale. Got a pair ordered from ebay for £15 and these are new releases from October replacing the Night Breaker Plus bulbs. I am a sceptic when it comes to these fancy upgrade bulbs but i took a chance on these and will report back on what they are like. The film does reduce the light a bit but im hoping the new bulbs will get round that. they claim to be 110% brighter than standard with a beam reach 35m longer. the Plus was +90% so an apparent 20% improvement with the Unlimiteds.

    Again if I am not happy the film will come off and whilst i would be sad to lose the look at least I should have much better lights for night driving. will try and get some before and after pics with the new Osrams.

    I use them Osram bulbs - dont think they were the unlimited tho - on my Yaris and i do notice a difference, not massive but a cleaner spread of light and a bit further too. You got a cracking price there, i paid that much for one!

    They're nowt compared to HIDs but light is overrated
