Headlight protective film? where to buy

I recently bought some brand new JDM evo headlights and was curious if anyone made a protective film that I could put over the headlights to keep them from getting scratched? if you have experience with a product and a link please share, thanks!

clear vinyl with UV protection of some sort built in so it doesn't fade and/or get gross

haha yeah man I'll be selling my stockers in a week or 2 I'll post them up. I have alot of time/effort in them and they're pretty unique for stock headlights but not sure what I should ask for them. I still can't believe how much I spent on the new headlights but I've always wanted them and I've seen people pay about the same amount for used ones so I couldn't pass up the deal at $1250 shipped haha

I'll look into this, I'm thinking about going to a local business that does vinyls and tint and 3m stuff and see what they can do for me as far as a clear protective vinyl film

Find your local Xpel installer. Or buy the precut film from Xpels webpage and install yourself. Xpel is the best film on the market; self healing properties as well as a longer film life than competitors.

Our headlights take a beating up here in the winter so I use LaminX on all of our cars, and the blue is a different look. They have a few color options and install is easy.
