Headlight Armor

On sale for 10 bucks off.

Just bought some to replace the one's I've had on for many years.
They had a good run, but now they're all Sun scorched.
Headlights underneath are still nice and clear.

I just have to figure out how to peel the darn things off.

Please post your opinion on whichever method you end up using. I just peeled the Lamin-X off the coupe a couple of years ago and it was a nightmare removing all the residues left behind. I will need to change out the film on my X5 soon and needs to find a better method thand what I did with the coupe.

Good idea.
I was going to just give it a go after it's been sitting in the Sun and it's almost too hot to touch.
But wetter may be better.

No clue, I’m sure certain “high end” ones will cut down the job time but in general I know this is the preferred method by clear bra installers. And if we’re talking just the headlights you probably could get away with whatever you have at home.
