Default PPF for headlights. Which is better?

I want to put some PPF on my F150 headlights and fog lights. I really can’t afford anything else. Which is better between Suntek or Xpel, or are they equal —again on just the lights.

IMO i wouldn't put anything on the lights, im not sure how much it would affect the light output/beam pattern

worked fine on last truck ( only had it for a year) The auto headlights and auto brightening on/off worked flawlessly. I had Suntek then and wanted to know how in compared with Xpel. I also think it will maintain a pristine lens much longer.

I think PPF is fine on lights in regard to the beam/clarity, any of the nice 3M stuff is good to go.

Your other alternative is a ceramic coating, it won't last as long, but it will be easier to apply.

The opti-lens coating is another good solution to protect the headlights from UV damage.
