Default Headlight protection.

I googled and hoped it would lead to something on this site.

Whats the latest with great fit?

i keep looking at a sponsor Headlight Armor.

But dont see anyone using it.

Love my OEM lights and don’t want to lose output.

2013 F150 and no dings or chips yet.

According to their site they don’t sell or install just headlight kits.

They don't, that's why you have to go to an installer. They have a program that cuts the film to shape of your headlights.

Unprotected the lights will pit from small impacts over time. These impacts chip / erode away the factory hard coating on the lights. The pitting degrades output, but more importantly subjects the lens to UV - further accelerating the degradation. Protecting the lens with a headlight protection film is going to go a long way towards keeping the lenses clear long term.

All of the install photos for the 09-14 Headlight Protection Film Application on the site are customer submissions.

The headlights on this generation are pretty straight forward to apply the material on.

Let us know if you have any questions on them either here, on our vendor thread or through PM.

I have x-pel on my head and fog lights, can’t tell it’s even there other than my truck is 4 years old and the lens’ look mint.
Had on my TL headlights up to when I traded it at 100k miles also still looked like new.
