CLK 430
Got my chrome headlight rings

but being in the Northeast I want to wait for a hot day to install them. When I picked up the car from the dealer he said they usually use heat guns to make them stick real good, and if not have the headlights on for a while to get the unit hot.

Any advice on installing them? I know its a simple peel and stick kinda thing, but how did others do it?

Thanks guys..

Installation

The only thing I can think of is the obvious, to be sure that the surface around the lights is cleaned thoroughly before installation. Given the weather we've been having you should have a nice warm day soon.
