I just want to use film so it can be removed if need be

I'm with you. Especially if I get pulled over, can just peel off right there and then. Plus I didn't have to remove the lights at all, just allowed extra to be able to be tucked into groves with a credit card. Had it done in 2 beers time while doing it. Easy as. Also wanted to see how it looked first. I get lots of comments about the tint as I sure the other guys do about the paint tint. What works for the individual in the end.

FYI my local tint-a-car told me the tint film for glass doesn't stick to plastic.

Im gonna get some of the gloss one off eBay! Should look awesome!

the best results iv seen so far are using nite shade spray to get the desired shade level.

then followed by clear coat which is then polished and buffed to a high gloss.

I bought mine off eBay for 80 each, look genuine. Gonna have a crack at the nightshade polished approach but might try and leave the clear bit clear.
