I just received mine and i was wondering if the double sided stickers are really doing the job or if i'll need something else to do a proper install ??

Thanks

 

I installed mine with just the double-sided tape. They seem to stick really good. The only thing I regret, is not doing a couple test placements before I took the plastic backing off the adhesive...other than that you will be quite pleased with them i assure you.

 

no prob with the exterior ones,, the iner ones afeter a wile it fell off so make shure you clean the area very very well so it will stick good.. if you do this you should have no prob

 

Anyone know how much does cold weather affect them over time...i live in ohio and it can be 78 one day and 30 the next...stupid lake effect weather....

 

i used the stock tape it came with. make sure they line up good cuz u can see it a little when the lights go on. only once has one felt a little loose since i put them on in december.

 

I installed mine winter timeish and so far no problems, everytime i walk behind the car i give em a good push to make sure they arent coming loose and so far no problems, and i live in ohio too, i just wish it would make up its god damn mind haha

 

Apologize to bring an old thread back.

I just installed these AVS covers the other night; and it looks horrid when you turn the lights on. The double sided tape shows right through; and the fitment is a bit tacky...

During the day they looks great though...
Any suggestions guys?

 

Paint them black or get rid of them and use NiteShades. I like NiteShades better but that's just me.

 

Like said before, paint them black, thats what Im gonna do when I get mine.

 

scratch off that AVS too......it comes right off.

 

COLOR MATCH FTW!

 

Thanks for the help! I decided I'll just go w/ the modernperformance smoked taillights... so much easier hahah

 

Dibs on your covers steven, you have a PM

 

A soon as I got them I put new tape on them and actually made the tape look like a circle instead of the ghetto zig-zag they had going on and you can't even tell they weren't supposed to be like that.

 

Ok guys.... here is the secret. Remove the double sided tape and use a silicon sealant like you do with headlights. I used liquid nails. It is completely clear and will still give you the smoked look (as opposed to black) and does not obstruct light output. Not to mention, there is NO WAY that stuff is coming off regardless of weather

 

Only problem with this is that some people may want to take them off and if they use the silicone they probably wont be coming off, if there is a way to take it off after putting the silicone on I might do this.

 

Use clear sealent glue like i used it works great and no outlines

 

will it come off if i choose to remove them

 

Depends on what brand and type you get i know mine if i heat it with a hair dryer it will come off

 

What brand did you use?

 

it was some marine water proof stuff in a blue tube that i got from a local auto zone just make sure you ask if the stuff will be able to come off but i think if the stuff from the headlights can come off with a hair dryer most every thing can come off with a hair dryer it was also for plastics

 

Ok thanks for the help
