Another pair of hazy headlights restored

For those still not comfortable performing a DIY on these headlights, or paying top money to have them restored, I found a nice, reasonably (as in cheap) priced place in Burbank, CA.

Pardon the crappy pics. I will post a better one soon. Just to describe, the driver side headlight have been done here:

When I had my 535i wrapped with the clear protective bra, the installer told me that the wrap does not protect against uv light fade?

Anybody heard different or have had a different experience?

the haziness over time is the result of baking of particles onto the plastic lenses. With paint protection film over the lights, it will eliminate this problem.
