Totally. It conforms to weird shapes of a bumper, it'll definitely conform to slightly curved lights.

people wrap their entire cars in 3m material, it conforms to the little nooks and crannies of bumpers and air vents.

headlights are a piece of cake!

This is slightly different that the clarity might change when film is stretched too much. Not all 3M materials are the same.

To OP, if you are concerned, contact 3M or any of the places that does car bras. Personally, the amount of money you spend, its not worth it as when you nick it it looks bad and you would need to re wrap. I would never get a clear bra unless I have a collectors car with original paint. Painting a bumper for an FD costs around 300-400.. Bra was 250-350.

Back to topic. Original light frame had 2 big holes which will not allow us to direct mount the lights on. So I made these templates which will be made in metal plate as final production. Screw holes will be pre drilled for the lights.

any shots of these on car with the infiniti bullet projectors?
im really interested in that setup.

do the modifications/cutting required to make this fit prohibit being able to go back to stock lights in the future?

this has been mentioned many time. You have to cut the bumper for it to work. No frame cutting necessary. So yes you can go back to stock but you will need a new bumper.

How's the fitment and quality? Are the shrouds thin or sturdy, better lighting would help us see. Congrats on the new lights .

Sorry for the poor quality iPhone pics. -the lights came with the kit. Quality is OK. Figuring out how to mount the light that came with the kit was the trick. Needed to cut to accommodate the larger light. Will post better pictures once I color match.
