I looked at your install thread, looks like you did a good job to me. Give it a few weeks and some of those lines and bubbles should either be less noticeable of go away altogether.
    Wow, you means there's still hope? That's great to hear. Can I still hit them with a hair dryer now (day, 5 I think) and try to get some of those small lines out? Or would that be a bad idea at this point? The outer side of the horn (on both lenses) has completely come loose, not adhering at all. I'm thinking it may be best to just cut that small section off.

    ...and the 2nd piece you're referring to I "think" is the cover for the turn signals. The headlight is all one piece.

    Yup, there's still hope. Make a mixture of about a cup of warm water and a few drops of dish soap and put it in a spray bottle. Get out the hairdrier and warm up the stoneguard a section at a time, also turn on the lights to help keep the plastic warm. You will also need something to smooth/work the stoneguard. I recommend the soft plastic plaster/bondo scrapers (pictured below). Warm the stoneguard with your hairdryer and spray it with the mixture then slowly work it with scraper. Go slowly and carefully and keep the stoneguard warm. If you do decide to peel them off and try again, send me a pm and I'll post some extra pointers.

    Oh, and you're right, I thought that other piece was for the horns.
