Re: headlight protection

We were going to get all the plastic protection bits but here's another suggestion re headlight protection if you must have something to protect them.

I bought "invisible headlight protectors" by altrex from supercheap for about $30-40. They're a transparent thick vinyl kind of stick on stuff and despite which brand that sells them these ones are made by 3M as printed on the backing paper. I first found out about these ages ago when workshops started fitting these to our work vehicles instead of the acrylic plastic type because they kept breaking and were a pain in the backside to keep clean.

These 3M protectors have to be cut out from a sheet after you've made a template from tracing paper, I used baking paper. It can be tricky but if you take time the results are good. The biggest problem is eliminating air bubbles when you stick em on, the best way to help avoiding this is heating the sheet up by leaving it in the sun.

Read the instructions and do it right first time. I have only the driver's side covered at the moment, the passenger's side I put on cold and had areas that were perfect and others with bubbles I couldn't eliminate and tried to reapply several times. Eventually my finger marks interfered with the adhesive and to top it off dropped it sticky side down on the driveway. The best bit is, I don't know how, but the sticky side doesn't leave any residue on the headlight if you do stuff up or change your mind. Buy a small piece to try, the size to cover entire headlight and wrap around indicator is 550mm x 200mm with little room for errors. Cheers
