How to Install a Headlight X Tape on Your Bike?

A headlight x tape is an aftermarket accessory to enhance the aesthetics of a bike, mostly a Royal Enfield bike. It is very easy to install them and does not require any electrical connection or anything problematic.

To start with, start by washing your bike. You can skip whole body wash as it won’t be much necessary but obviously can do so for a perfect photo of your bike’s new look. Anyway, make sure to wash the headlight properly as if you mount the headlight x tape over dirt and sand then it may scratch the headlight and also, the accessory may not stay at its place firmly. Best results will be produced if you clean the headlight with a glass cleaner.

After washing, unbox the headlight x tape and notice that the back side of it has 3M tape cover or wrap. It can be any tape cover for the matter. Now, make sure your hands are also clean and washed as if you touch the adhesive with dirty hands then dirt will stick to it and the accessory will not stick to the headlight firmly and also chances of scratching the headlight is present.

So, after peeling the tape wraps, stick the headlight x tape at your desired angle. You can leave more gaps between them or lessen it. But make sure to stick the headlight x tape at one go, as repeated attempts will weaken the adhesive. So, make up your mind regarding the angles beforehand and stick to it.

That was all about it. Hope we could convince you why you should get a headlight x tape and also clear every possible doubt you had regarding it. It won’t cause any trouble to you and don’t worry, it will not damage the headlight glass.
