KCALB SIRAY - by the time I got home last night it was dark, so no close-up pictures. I'd rather use natural light versus a flash. I'll see how tonight goes.

I haven't gone looking for one, but I think I mostly covered it in my initial post. The directions provided with the film are pretty good too. Just read them a couple of times and have a bowl of water to dip your fingers into and a decent source of heat. Lamin-X provided a tiny little squirt bottle that shoots a very fine mist, keep that handy to mist the tail light while working with the film. Lamin-X recommended either a blow dryer or a heat gun. I didn't use a blow dryer because I was afraid it would dry the water even quicker than my halogen work light. The film is pretty thick, and heat is your friend to help stretch and massage it into place, just not too much heat in any one place at any one time.

Darn daylight savings time! I now get home from work just as the sun sets. Anyway, shot a couple of close up pics this evening. The sun was just about down and there were clouds in the sky too. So there is reflection in the lens. The film has laid down pretty darn smooth, only if you are really close can you see some small bubbles, hopefully those will go away. Not sure if you can even see them in the pics. So far, so good.

Right lens, you can just see the edge of the film at the bottom of the lens as I didn't get it 'pulled' quite all the way to the bottom edge:
