    I suppose any soap will do, even 7th gen dish soap?

    Also since the outside temp these days are around. 20-30 degree, cant wait till summer so i guess a sunny day will be fine for installation?

    Yes, any type of dish soap will do, just avoid anything with ammonia, such as Windex, which can breakdown the adhesive. For proper adhesion the application surface MUST be at least 50 degrees, ideally between 60 and 80. If you must install them in cold conditions you may want to warm the surface with a hair dryer, space heater, or projection heater, and keep it warm until all the moisture is removed. Even then you might compromise the durability if it gets too cold immediately after the installation.

    Love these insert. Have them on my BBP. I didn't expect them to light up as nicely as they do at night. One of the best purchases. And as my bank account can attest I have made a lot of purchases for this truck.

    Just ordered! So soap in water is the easiest way? How did you squeeze out the bubbles? Ratio of soap and water? Dish soap?

    Detailed instructions are included with the decals. They are also on the Ebay listing. You can't go wrong if you follow them step by step, but be sure to read the entire instructions before you start.

    Has anyone done this on the Quicksand color? Just curious to see how it looks. Getting either the reflective or the matte black.

    You guys all doing this in freezing winter weather?
    Says 60-80 degree for prime application. Maybe I'm just over analyzing this
