Assuming you have experience with dissecting the doors in order to remove the glass (requires having the maintenance manual handy), applying tint is fairly easy. You just submerge the glass and tint in soapy water, remove the backing from the tint, apply it to the glass, smooth out the bubbles, and remove the completed piece from the tub to let it dry.
You then trim the excess.

The soapy water retards the adhesive on the tinting film, allowing you to shift it around to remove the air bubbles.
