While the material will not stop everything it is going to go a long way toward keeping them intact.

Putting on the headlight film was a challenge, with the big application surface and the curvature. Needless to say mine didn't turn out perfect. But good enough for me. No car show trophies for sure. Just want to retard yellowing of the clear plastic lens cover.
One of the main reasons for clouding and yellowing of the lens is due to sand blasting. Millions of grains of sand tend to erode the hard coating that most manufactures put on the lenses. One that coating is gone it is all downhill from there. The 07-08's headlight has a large bulging shape, so application of the protection kit is going to be harder than most other kits. When you are regularly cleaning your car, don't neglect the headlights. Cleaning and protecting the headlight protection kit with a product like 303 Protectant is going to go a long way toward keeping them clean, clear and resilient.

For those in Canada (or other international locations) we just added a flat rate economy international shipping method which lowers the shipping cost by 50-80%
Much appreciated! Especially on the shipping!!
