Headlight protection
 

What options do people here have/recommend for headlight protection? They're clear now since they're new, but I'd like to keep them from hazing after a few years.

I have a 3M clear bra on the front bumper/half hood that came from the dealer, if that makes any difference. Just trying to see the different options. I was thinking maybe Opti-coat or something?

I have 3M on the headlights/fogs/DRLs. I think I paid 125 installed.

I just use a good sealant that helps repel UV raysbthat cause hazing. Armor sealant from staybfresh is what I started using recently. It also gives the headlights a little bit of an extra "pop" since it creates a shell of protection.

Headlights come clear coated from the factory. All you have to do it get a few rock chips to remove that coating and they start to oxidize and then craze from UV.


Long story short, the only real protection is the same as protecting the paint on the bumper, clear bra or don't drive it :)

Thanks for all the feedback, y'all. I may just buy one of those 3M headlight clear bra kits and put it on myself. Don't really see much difficultly in having to pay an installer to do it. Now to find one...

I got a partial clear bra that covered the front lights. Using Xpel.

Dont be ridiculous! Just drive backwards everywhere.

I have yellow LaminX tint on the headlight..works great!

Then I'd have to replace my tail lights!

I had Xpel Ultimate put on the headlights when I had the front end wrapped. It's been almost 2 years now and the headlights and front end are still perfect.

haha...true.



Looks like we have to drive sideways!

My dealership did the paint and interior protector on mine, and specifically said they did the headlights, and guarantee the interior, exterior and headlights to look factory new for 7 years, or they repair/replace them at their cost. I sure hope they stand behind their word....

So I bought my BRZ used and it is starting to show some haze on the head lights. Is there a polish or something else that someone could recommend to restore the shine?
