Advice, please...how to protect headlights from hazing

[IwantmyMMnow!]

So, I finally opened the box my new headlamp assemblies came in. Wasn't planning to, but the kids were dying to see what was inside (even after I told them what it was)...needless to say, they were not as impressed as I was....

I've read several posts on here about using some type of film over the lenses to help prevent hazing/pitting...is there anything else I could/should do? I want to keep these looking like they just came out of the box for as long as I can.

Once I get them installed, I'll most likely be selling my old ones; on the fence about trying to restore them or sell them as-is...they are in pretty rough shape.

TIA...

FWIW, I got them through Tousley Ford website; $309 incl shipping.

The film is xpel (3m) you get a kit with head lt, turn lt and fog. Autoanything has it for $48.95. Or go to xpel web site they are in texas. Have it on mine you can't tell it is on there.

Kyle, you saw mine. It's the Xpel product.

Get the RainX product for cleaning your headlights, it's works!

Spring project for me

I figure on just buying new ones every 5 years or so. It's such a focal point of the car and you can never restore 'em to that new car look.

I have the xpel headlight protection kit but haven't yet got the chance to install em.. I actually like my aftermarket Depo brand headlights more then the oem tinted headlights. For some reason the Depo brand headlights have a nice crystal mirror diamond lookin shine than the oem and to me they look better. I've had em since the car got repainted a year and a half ago and they still look like new. I really like how they held up plus the cars in the garage most it's life so that's the main thing.

Just not a fan of the aftermarket corner lights which il admit the oem have more of a tint and look better. I also have a brand new set of fog lights too that I haven't got to install yet but will when spring comes and il slap on the fog light 5000k hids that's been sitting for a year and a half from DDM. Cant wait til spring rolls!!
