3M 8 Mil Headlight Protection Film Kit with Self Patterning Liner (2) 15 inch by 30 inches Bulk Sheets

To start with let’s all agree plastic headlights suck! That said, I just finished wrapping the headlights on my 97 Civic which are curved and have a seam between headlight and turn signal. Took my time and followed directions-in fact I read them start-to-finish three times-and at least so far they look beautiful! I’m impressed with the quality of the wrap, it should last several years. If I were keeping the car I would apply two layers but as it is going to be sold I just used one but I did leave a tab at the top so the owner can just peel it off in the future easily if it gets cloudy. I have a few small spots around the assembly edges that I am sure will lay down and adhere tomorrow-they aren’t on the lens, just on the flat part around the light reflector, out of view once assembled and protected from car washes etc. that might cause edges to lift. Actually I’m so impressed I may just buy new lenses for my Volvo 245SE and another set of these. Mine are cloudy as heck and new plastic costs 1/3 what glass lenses do so even adding this cost makes it more economical. And I don’t drive a 30 year old car because I’m a car nut(although I am) but because I’m a cheapskate! This old Volvo is one of the most dependable, least expensive to maintain and safest cars on the road, It has 400,000+ miles and engine and transmission have never required repair. I drive around 475 miles round trip to the VA hospital and average 85MPH and 28MPG when roads are clear-3 passes twixt here and there. On the other hand I am beginning to like this Honda and I was a Honda factory tech before I retired so I am certain this one has another 200,000 miles in her before major before she dies, at least!

Very reasonable price for the quality of the film. Crystal clear and does not haze badly after time. Took a while to make a template to cutout the shape for the light. Goes on well with water and adheres very firmly. Looks good once in place

Film is thick and strong and clear, perhaps a little too thick for easy maneuverability and application, or perhaps just due to my inexperience. I refinished oxidized headlights on a car and applied this film to the end product. These headlights had some curves to them, and despite using a heat gun to help stretch the film over curved surfaces, I had great difficulty. The film has been on the outdoor-parked car for slightly over a year now and seems to be holding up well. There’s a little bit of rainbow stretch distortions if you look at the headlight directly when they are on. This may be due to how much I had to stretch the product or my own heat application.

The product was exactly as described, a thicker 12mil 3M brand film, LLumar. I used it to protect my glass headlight lenses and it was very easy to install once I got the hang of it. The film is very durable but doesn’t appear to be very stretchy, although if you applied heat I bet it would be better. It comes with instructions and tips and tricks as well which was unexpected. Be sure to read them thoroughly and mix up a good slip solution as directed. I have yet to drive the vehicle but the intent was to prevent rock chips from breaking the glass headlight lenses. Hoping this will do the trick

This is a clear protective film, but not specifically for headlights. The instructions tell how to install on door or hood edges to protect the paint. Nothing about headlights. It works, but you have to cut them to shape yourself (a given of course since it's not made for a specific vehicle so not a negative) and we'll see how well the adhesive holds up to the heat given off by headlights (on vehicles with LED headlights it won't be as much of a worry).
