You have to keep in mind the sun beating on the plastic turns it yellow and when you're driving it's like getting sandblasted with all the stuff in the air, sand, bugs, rocks ant etc your clear headlights turn opaque.


Paint protectio0n film is the way to go BUT with the contours of the headlights it's a PITA to apply UNLESS you take out your headlights and have a friend hit it with a hair dryer/heat gun as you stretch it.
