Acura RSX Red Out Taillight Installation

Tools Required

• Xacto Knife
• Hair Dryer
• Red Transparent Vinyl

Step One

Get your sheet of transparent red vinyl.

Step Two

Put the sheet up to the signal light and see how much you will need.

Step Three

Start cutting the vinyl so u have enough for one side.

Step Four

Mix water and dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle and spray onto the tail lights.

Step Five

Peel off the vinyl, exposing its sticky side.

Step Six

Apply the vinyl flat and parallel to the tail light.

Step Seven

Flatten the edge out as much as possible, while pushing outwards towards the borders of the vinyl. Doing this will push out all of the soap water underneath. If you fail to push out most of the water, theirs a chance of small bubbles forming. Now do the same to the sides of the signals. This part is a bit trickier because the vinyl might wrinkle a bit on the sides.

Step Eight

This step is optional, but it is highly recommend. This will help get rid of wrinkles, giving you a smoother, cleaner look. Use a blow dryer and aim it towards the edge of the vinyl. You will notice that the vinyl quickly becomes more flexible. Use this to your advantage. Pull the vinyl outwards and stretch it so that it is taut (not slacked.) And use flatten it down. It helps to have another person help u at this stage, but not necessary. The vinyl should be on nice and smooth over the amber signal area.

Step Nine

With your exacto blade, begin lightly tracing the shape of the signal. You should be able to see the shape through the vinyl.

Step Ten

Once you have traced the entire outline of the amber tail light, start peeling off the excess vinyl.

Step Eleven

Once you have gotten rid of all the excess vinyl, flattening it out again with your hand to get rid of any left over water/bubbles.

Step Twelve

Wait about 5-10 minutes to ensure its dry.

If you ever want it back, all you have to do is peel it off. The vinyl is very strong and will withstand the weather and car washes.
