XPEL Headlight Protection Kit Installation Video

XPEL's New Headlight Installation Video

We recently posted our latest headlight kit installation video to demonstate how easy it is to apply this product to your Porsche GT2.




A Great Product For Your Track Car:

The most common issue seen with composite headlamps is the sandblasting caused by rocks, road salt, debris and sand. This pitting and cracking not only affects the appearance, but it also reduces the performance of your lights. In some extreme cases, more commonly seen with fog lights mounted near to the ground, this can actually cause the lights to crack, allowing moisture to form inside the lens.

XPEL film is designed to protect from all of these elements. In fact, it can actually help restore lights that are showing signs of wear from pitting.

Acting like a wax, the adhesive fills in the surface defects, creating a shiny consistent surface while protecting from any further.

Does it protect from UV as well? I recently had my lights restored and was thinking about applying something like Lamin-X. I'm assuming this is a similar type of product?

Our product is similar but the main difference is that our product is thicker. XPEL's headlight film is at 30 mil while our competition is about 10 mils thinner. We believe the extra thickness provides added protection.

As for protection vs UV it does not. Polycarbonate lenses can become cloudy and discolored due to oxidation caused by harmful UV rays. While sanding or polishing the surface can buy you a small amount of time, this process actually removes the painted-on hard coat, essentially accelerating the wear and tear. In the more advanced stages, the deterioration continues into the actual plastic material of the headlight, rendering it
unsalvageable and requiring total replacement. XPEL's headlight kits prevents oxygen from wreaking havoc to your headlights. It acts as a barrier that keeps your headamps from the elements to prevent wear over time.
