Pre-cut template for headlight clear bra?
 
I'd like to apply some clear bra to my headlights. While I'm mindfully aware of how difficult it would be to DIY clear bra on the bumper, I figure clear bra on the headlights is imminently within my capabilities. Does anyone know where to get a pre-cut kit for this?

The headlights can be very challenging due to the curves of the lights. Quite a bit of stretching of the film is needed to ensure a perfect install.

Meaning a DIY install would be a bad idea I take it? Has anyone tried to do this themselves?

It can be a challenging area to protect. Unless you work with film daily, take it to a PRO IMO.

i can get it for ya. but they are kinda hard to do especially if you dont know what you are doing.

Called Invisiashield and they did not recommend clear covers for headlights. The clear covers trap in the heat and shorten life of the headlights. Still think it is worth it because a broken headlight is expensive to replace. Has anyone been told the same thing about headlight covers?

Give it a try if its not too expensive, I remember when I did mine they weren't the easiest light at all and I do this for a living. But I think its because it was really cold out, you're in TX its probably nice and hot down there already it'll make it a lot easier to stretch.

Thanks! I was quoted a low price because I think they have had people come back to claim the clear covers shortened the life of the headlights.
