I got lamin-x. Install was pretty much straight forward, just need a friend to help you. You need a hair dryer and spray bottle to make things much easier. What I got was gunsmoke.

basically you clean the headlights. then you spray a mist of water (i used soapy water), peel the headlight film and hold from the tabs. then you align it straight. spray a mist over it then work your way out using the applicator card thing (make sure you keep spraying water over it so you don't scratch the film). use a hair dryer to get rid of air bubbles/water pockets and it will even mold better when its hot. after you're done just use an exacto knife to cut the tabs off.
