Default Advice on Headlights

There are plenty of threads on the forum about damaged headlights. Apparently UV light is causing them to haze up or discolor. My question is what would be the best treatment to protect my lights so that this does not happen. Would 303 protectant be a good choice? It is supposed to protect against UV damage and its made for plastics.

Has anyone installed these urethane guards? How hard are they to install? Are they easy to remove?

The film is unlike window glass tint which has an adhesive component released with water

This product will require a clean dry surface.

It will be easily removed.

I'm not sure of the correct terminology however iI guess that it may be static surface adhesion that holds it on.

You may have placed a similar removeable product on the inside of your windshield indicating your next oil change.

I wouldnt be afraid to try it... There are similar "Invisible" rock guard materials available for smooth painted surfaces.

Good luck.

Mine started to get an ever-so-slight haze near the top of the lenses so I used Meguiar's PlastX which took it off and I use it on them every time I wash the car, which is about every week during the driving season.
