Anyone have 3M or equivalent on your headlights/foglights? Recommended, would you do it again? My car has 43K, some minor pitting, was thinking about protecting them but I undecided.

 

Headlight Protection
Even after a headlight restoration project prevention is always better than a cure; with the average cost of replacement head lamps and fog lamps spiralling to nearly $300, it is nice to know that there is a product available to protect your car against the perils of the open road. These products are made from a proprietary, scratch-resistant, urethane material coupled with the strongest optically clear adhesive available


a) Protect your expensive headlamps, before it's too late. WeatherTech® LampGard™ uses a tough 40 mil thick, double-polished urethane material that is optically clear and applies (peel & stick) directly to the surface. This product has built-in ultraviolet inhibitors that help prevent the material from drying, hardening or discolouring. Custom die-cut to fit your specific vehicle for a precise, perfect fit, it comes with easy-to-follow instructions and applies to headlamps, fog lamps, turn indicators and parking lights (when applicable) to protect them from scratching, cracking and pitting.

b) XPEL™ Designed for maximum durability, these light covers were originally tested under the harshest of circumstances with amazing results. Both in the real world and in the lab, these covers have proven that they will withstand a barrage of 1" diameter stones (about 1oz.) at speeds up to 120 M.P.H. with no damage to the lens they protect. It is nice to know that your expensive lenses are protected in every scenario. We are so confident in our product that we offer a 5-year warranty to leave you with complete peace of mind. Headlight protection film can also improve the look of old headlights by reducing the haze build-up. I have this product currently fitted to all three of my vehicles and our DD

Very good idea and in the long run, will keep the plastic lights from oxidizing and turning yellow

 

I had the headlights and fog lights covered with a 3M product looks like film but I was told it was heavier. They plus is you really cannot see it and the light passes just as easily. It prevents road rash cause by sand and small rocks. If something major hits it, it will keep the lens together so the glass will not mess up the paint.

If only cost a few hundred dollars if you had to change it every few years. Mine has been on for a year and a half and it still looks perfect. I would suggest doing it as my experice so far is all good.

And by the way-Nice Avitar!!!!!!!!!!
