Apply a Protective Film to the Headlight

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Headlight

First, dampen the headlight glass, then apply the film ensuring it is positioned correctly. Use a plastic spatula to ensure the film is perfectly flat, eliminating any air bubbles; if necessary, dampen the area multiple times. Using a heat gun, warm the film and with a clean cloth, smooth it out, ensuring to remove any remaining air bubbles. During this process, it may be necessary to dampen the film multiple times and heat it repeatedly for perfect application. Continuously rub the cloth over the film for optimal adhesion to the headlight.
