Thousands of accidents were linked to ineffective light output due to worn and cloudy headlights. Traditionally auto manufacturers have been producing cars with composite headlamp units made from either poly carbonate or acrylic materials. While these materials are great for designing today's lights, they have a tendency to deteriorate over time. Lenses become cloudy and discolored due to oxidation caused by harmful UV rays, and become pitted by rocks, road salt, debris and sand. This discoloration, pitting and cracking not only affects the appearance, but it also reduces the performance of your lights.
With the average cost of replacement head lights and fog lamps spiraling to nearly $850, it is nice to know that there is a product available to protect your car against the perils of the open road and protect against UV Damage. Headlight films are designed to protect from all of these elements.
In fact, it can actually help restore lights that are showing signs of wear from pitting. The adhesive helps fill in the surface defects, creating a shiny consistent surface while protecting from any further damage.
Our protection films provide maximum durability and tested under the harshest of circumstances with amazing results. Both in the real world and in the lab, our products have proven that they will withstand a barrage of 1" diameter stones (about 1 oz.) at speeds up to 120 M.P.H. with no damage to the lens they protect. It's comforting to know your expensive headlight lenses are protected.FY I- Over 98% of our paint protection film customers includes headlight/blinker/fog protection.

A recent test by a film manufacturer installed paint protection film on a set of new SUV headlights and was removed after 20 months in Florida. The film removed and the plastic surface was in perfect, like-new condition. However, where the film did not cover the surface (near the edges), there was clear evidence that the unprotected surface had already begun to deteriorate from weathering. This shows the value of the film to prevent aging of exposed plastic lens surfaces.
In cases where the headlight surfaces are already fogged, hazed or crazed from weathering, the installation of Paint Protection Film restores the surface to extreme clarity, improving headlight brilliance and focus. It was amazing to see this phenomenon.
Many clients have the film installed on their headlights to avoid having to buy and install new expensive headlights. Please stop by our store and inspect our sample headlight with the film applied to a portion of a weathered lens. We also offer 12mil, 17mil, 30 mil and 40 mil headlight films.
