Depo Headlight Project

hey everyone so i bought depo headlights on ebay so the plan of my project was to switch the projector to my D2S projector snice the ones that came with these depo light were H7 but that didnt work out the D2S projector was bigger so it didnt fit so i had to scratch that plan and just buy H7 H.I.D. Kitso the next thing i wanted to do was switch the corners with my old spyder headlights because i like the euro corners better then the clear depo corners but the spyder corners look way smaller then the depo corners so i didnt even try that so i went off and bought some chrome vinyl wrap and wrap the corners looked very good my opinion but now the problem i am having is that the vinyl wrap i bought is getting bubbles.. now i dont know if i need better vinyl wrap or if it just cant be done i hope someone can help me out and tell me where i can get the better vinyl wrap so i can keep the look i have with the corners because i like it way better then that clear see thru

not sure about the wrap, but try to find silver bulbs, to get rid of the yolk inside the lights...

yeah, I guess it's a personal preference. I agree with Terminator though.
But if you really want to keep that look you should use a silver 3M Scotchgard Paint or headlight Protection Film.

Longest sentence ever and it's still un-finished.
I read the first line and just scroll through the pictures.

^I did help, not directly to your dillema though. I'm letting you know how hard it is to read your post. Eventhough someone wants to help but not everyone wants to jump over some huddle to do that. Make it easy for others to help you.

Easy fix ...just buy this adapter and you still can use the D2S bulbs for H7 housing...H7 to D2S D2R Adapters for Philips OSRAM Xenon HID Bulb | eBay

As for the corners wrapping,,,Just paint them silver.
