Hello all. Just thought I'd reply to this considering many Lotus owners have ordered headlight kits recently. This is definitely one of the more difficult headlight installations. I gave a couple of helpful suggestions to Chris to make the next attempt easier. We will be changing the supplemental Elise installation instructions to reflect these suggestions.

When applying down the side of the headlight, constant heating/warming to the underside (adhesive side) with a blow dryer will be needed. It is preferrable to do this section of the light dry. Too much moisture will not allow the adhesive to stick to the light and you will encounter big, frustrating wrinkles. You will incremetally press the film down from the top to the bottom of the light, so bubbles can be either prevented or removed. Applying in increments will help keep the wrinkles small and controllable, which will be eliminated once the edge of the light is reached.

If you don't feel comfortable trying to install the kit, then let us know and we will try to locate a professional installer in your area. Hope this all helps.

Chris
