Yup, they'll go away over time. It just needs some heat and time to dry out the air bubbles and water spots. The majority of mine were gone within 2 weeks but there were some that lasted for a while but eventually all went away.
You could run your headlights when ever you drive the car to help accelerate the process to generate some heat from the headlights since the weather isn't cooperating

How long ago did you put the film on Mu9enx and what did you use to wet it? A multi quote system would come in handy right now

Yeah it could be another two weeks before they clear up, it's a thick film and could take up to a month to fully cure. The weather isn't helping but you could start using your high beams to heat up the film and dry it faster.

Looks great on the SL's. Just stay away from going to dark, You want smoked not murdered. When they are real dark it just looks tacky.

Just turn them on for a few minutes a day, no more than five minutes.The high beams get hot so that should be enough to dry them out faster.

^HaHa... I will show you a pic of a SL with reaally bad tints... hold on need to find.
To me it looks very tacky and not clean at all. Very tuner on 100k car. Dont get me wrong there is the light tint for the lights that look elite but this dark... is just wow... I think the same tint Mu9enx has would look very classy and aggressive on a SL. My 2cents.
