Hi everyone !

Could you please tell me where to get the Laminix vinyl covers ?

Is the vinyl pre cut ? and is it that good to prevent the fogging coming back ? how much are they selling this vinyl ?

Thank you ,
George

 

After wet sanding and polishing a few years back I went with a custom cut headlamp protection kit sold by XPEL:
XPEL Head Light Protection

Not the cheapest product at $70 but it does last. They guarantee it against yellowing, cracking, peeling, etc., for 7 years. Once you've restored your headlamps, the installation of the film is relatively easy because the pieces are small when compared to trying to cover a bumper or other complicated shape which often makes sense to have a professional install. But the headlamp/fog lamp kit is easy enough that just about anyone can do after carefully reading the instructions. It is a little disconcerting when first applied because the film is applied wet (solution of rubbing alcohol and water) and some of that liquid will get trapped under the film leaving the lenses foggy looking. But almost magically after a few days it all evaporates leaving a crystal clear headlamp.

 

Ok I have my new headlight paid $825 on eBay for the pair need know how to replace them before I get started and start removing part that I don't need too! Can anyone help?

 

Yea
1. drivers side easier than passenger side.
2. jack up drivers side and remove front wheel.
3. remove the plastic door at the front of the fender well.
4. with a 10mm socket ( I think, may be 8mm ) and long extension, remove the 2 lower retaining bolts.
5. remove the 2 upper 8mm bolts.
6. wiggle the unit a bit to access the running light socket and the main wiring socket, remove both.
7. remove the 2 aluminum adjuster nuts on the bottom of the unit that the lower retaining bolts went through.
8. remove the unit.
9. swap the 3 lights into the new unit. ( make sure you properly index the H7 bulbs ).
9a. cover that sparkly new lens with masking tape to prevent any possible scratches while installing.
10. put new unit back in, connect the main harness and put the running light back in.
11. start the 2 adjuster nuts into the bottom just a few turns.
12. secure the unit with the 2 upper retaining bolts.
13. screw in the 2 adjusters until they just touch the mounting tabs.
14. install the 2 lower bolts and tighten.
15. replace plastic door and wheel, go get a beer before starting the passenger side.

passenger side : same as drivers side, except you will need to move the radiator overflow bottle, this can be a real biatch.
( if you have really tiny hands, you CAN do this without removing the overflow bottle )
1. remove the wiring connector to the bottle.
2. remove the 2 retaining nuts.
3. wd40 the rubber grommet and plastic nipple on the bottom.
4. wiggle while pulling up to release, you may have to use a large screwdriver to pop the plastic nipple out of the grommet.
5. lay the bottle out of the way and dive into the headlight replacement.

What's wrong with the old units ?
Would you be willing to sell them to me ?

 

I will keep you in mind when i remove them, i know they are still a commodity they are fogged up and was going to try and clean them up and eBay them but will give you first bid as is. Make it worth my wild.
I attached some pictures
But thanks for the advice, I will have that beer after the first one. LOL

 

I have a brand new Lamin-X kit for the xfire. PM me if interested!

 

Maybe how much?
