That vinyl looks thicker, like in all the videos on YouTube. Easy as to apply?

Couple of pics to clear my name!! Haha Looks dark in the garage, but it's quite light during the day outside. Happy medium.

I tried and failed. Maybe I didnt have the patience but seemed near impossible to get it 100%. Tinted LED's might be a better (but more expensive) alternative. Good luck!

I applied the wrap about a month ago (same stuff Corsair got from ebay I believe) and got it on without any creases using the heat and stretch trick but recently I noticed on my lights a ton of creases have appeared.
Could weather cause this? A bad method of application maybe?
I really like the look and would like to keep it (without the streaks obviously),

I'm just guessing maybe too much soapy water was used or too strong a soap/detergent. It might go away overtime depending how bad it is. When I did mine I had a few small bubbles so I applied heat and used a pin and made a very tiny hole where the bubble is and kept trying to smooth it all over (might not be ideal but worked for me)

Oh so too much soapy water during application can cause it to bubble over time?
I'll have to find a way to apply it without using too much soapy water, I'm terrible with anything that requires finesse haha
