    Do you protect your headlights?...

    Well now ya can LOL, I found these on ebay.
    They claim they can prevent/stop yellowing. Kind
    of expensive, and I bet there a pain in the rear to get
    on w/ out air bubbles etc. Anyone buy these?

    I wonder what they leave behind when you take them off!
    SOLD '03 300A Black - "805" of 7838
    Plate - "EVILMERC"

    I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

    John Bernard Books: First of all,friend, there's no one up there shooting back at you. Second, I found most men aren't willing, they bat an eye, or draw a breath before they shoot. I won't.

    Sorry, what was the auction for? I didn't get past the hottie in the Auto Trim Design pic.

    I will visit my dealer if I have problems with headlights. It's what an extended warranty is for. By law warranties must cover all NTSA safety related equipment.

    I got a set of these from Weather Tech.
    Never had a chance to put them on yet.
    They are a 6 piece set of really thick plastic that will stick
    to your headlights, side markers and fog lamp lenses.
    You have to spray down the sticky part with a 50/50 mix of 99% alcohol and water.
    You also have to keep your hands wet the entire time you are applying them,
    otherwise they say they will stick to your hands, and it will leave a print
    on the adhesive that you can't undo.
    Once you've got them on, you can use a hair dryer to soften them and press them into place.
    You also get a squeegee to help push out the air bubbles.

    Once they are on, they will protect your headlights from stones and knicks, but from yellowing, I don't know...

    I went with StonGard on just the headlights; mainly for stone chip / nick protection.

    And no it's not ... a pain in the rear to get on w/ out air bubbles; the key is to peel a small section of the backing, align at an outside edge, and to work your way across the lens. NBD do-it-yourself install.

    There's also the X-Pel product(s).
