I installed a set on the headlights/fog lights of my wife's 2012 Audi A4 and my 2011 BMW 335d. Hers were easier due to smoother curves; mine took a little more work. After a week, there are still a few spots of moisture under the protectors but the instructions say those will eventually evaporate out. So far, I am pleased with them.

You see so many vehicles with cloudy headlights, reducing the light output and making them unsafe as well as ugly. The solution is simple: Install the X-Pel Headlight Protection BEFORE your headlights are ruined. This is much less expensive than replacing the headlights! However, if your headlights are more than just a little bit curved, have these installed by a window-tint expert!

I ordered these things and had them for about 2 weeks before I got the guts up to install them. I read a fair few reviews saying how hard they were to install and the instructions seem pretty strict too. I live in northern CA and headlights seem to turn yellow in about 5 minutes. TIPS: Spray the back liberally! Take your time, the first one I spent 45 min doing and it doesn't get harder or anything. After getting the technique down, I did the second one in about 10 min. They look great!

I recently purchased a pair of X-Pel headlight protectors for my 2001 Honda. I must say that installation is fairly straightforward, however, be sure to squeegee all saturation for better appearance. There are still some spots of moisture trapped under the lens and application, however, it has diminished over time.

Liek the last person asked, how do you safely remove the protector? I have a set of new ones I purchased from you and want to re-do them. Do I need to warm them up before peeling off? Will they leave a sticky residue? Thanks
Answered by Nathan S. — Feb 14, 2013 10:26 AM
Hi, The removal process is just a matter of warming the plastic, and peeling them off. They will require some muscle to get them off, but they normally peel off without any residue left on the lens. If any adhesive at all remains behind, it may be removed by simply rubbing it with your thumb. The adhesive will then ball up and roll off.

I have a crack in my headlamp, and am looking for a solution to "seal" the cover in order to keep moisture from building up in the assembly and preserving the HID ballast. Would this product do the trick?

I'm thinking that this product would add a little more interest to the look of my 2012 Passat. Will the yellow or blue tinted version diminish the effectiveness of my OEM headlamps?
Answered by Michael K. — May 22, 2012 3:10 PM
Hey Dan, not so sure they diminish the effectiveness of your headlights, but the tinted protectors are not DOT compliant and are intended for off-road use only.

After installing, and after a few years when they start looking beat up some, can they be peeled off and replaced. Is the adhesive going to leave a residue on the lights that will make replacing them a mess.
