tail light tint trouble

i was just wondering if there was anyone from around the 609 area that could help me slap on some tail light tints. i cant seem to get around the curve, ive read DIY's and watched vids, but it always seem to crease. i dont know what im doing wrong. and a few of the shops around here say they wont do tints only spray. i got the tints from bluebat, its the tints with the reverse cutout.

much appreciated

Maybe try heating it with a hair dryer as you go around the curve.

i figured out how, just take your time, start drying from the beginning to end. keep drying each section and as you get to the curve, just dry smaller portions of the tint slowly until it all pushes through, it'll work, jsut take your time.

Hey the best thing to do is get a heat gun then get a bottle with some soap that way you can move it and you don`t burn the film or the glue. Have paper towel like bounty and something like a hard card. If you need any more help message me and I can help out.

Applying heat with a hairdryer or heat gun will make the vinyl pliable and soft.
