Ya...pay someone to do it. I ruined mine trying to put them on. Not saying you can't do it, but it's not worth the trouble.

there's no easy way to do it other than to have someone do it for you and pay for it.

good luck

I DIYed mine, once you get the hang of how to heat, pull, strech, & shrink the vinyl it's pretty easy. Took a couple hours for the first one and about 45 minutes for the other tail and another 45 min. for each headlight. Bluebat will sell you replacements at a real cut rate so you might give it a shot & see how it goes. Youtube has several videos on vinyl headlight wraps try a search, watch a few videos then see if it's something you want to try. It's pretty cool stuff to work with, I've wrapped my chrome window trim and will be doing the grill soon, then I'll be doing a whole vehicle wrap next year since this Infiniti paint leaves a lot to be desired
Send me a PM if you want some particular tips if you want to give it a shot. Short on time now but there are a few things that'll make it easier.
