I did a terrible job.
Installed my smoked tail lights today. They look really awesome but they have a lot of air bubbles that I couldn't get out, and it looks kinda dirty at night when you're close up. Might go back and re do them tomorrow.

if you just did them today alot of them will go out over 24-48 hours. or take like a safety pin or a very sharp needle and poke a hole in the bubble then smooth it from there. i had like 6 or 7 bubbles in mine. and after 3 days i just have maybe 2 small ones, in which u cant see unless i show you where they are

Try hitting it with some heat, like a hair dryer. It worker like a charm on my front bowtie when i had some bubbles in the vinyl, before I went to the SS on the front.

Did you apply them wet or dry? Be very careful with a heat gun!

Didn't read thru all the posts... but...
Some smaller bubbles will disappear in 24 hrs... use a hair dryer to get some out now. The outside light was difficult on each side... I have a few small blemishes, thought id redo them at first, but over time, they dissepate and get significantly better. I left mine.

Mine have been tinted for 12,000 miles and I have even been pulled over a few times for speeding. They never say anything about my tail lights (knock on wood)
