XPEL Headlight Protectors: Installation Difficulty?

Looking for opinions from W203 owners that have installed the XPEL headlight protectors. How difficult was the installation?

I just received my new bixenon headlights and my xpel protectors come in tomorrow. I want to put them on before anything happens to the headlights or any contaminants get on there. However, I'm not sure if this is a straightforward DIY project or if I'm better off looking for a pro to do it. I've read differing accounts as to the level of difficulty (some people say very easy, others say it was quite difficult) but I want to know specifically on the W203 headlights what the experience has been.

I'm pretty mechanically adept and I have good attention to detail. However, I'm a bit apprehensive because I have also read of some people who didn't get it right the first time, tried to pull the protectors off and ended up delaminating their headlights.

That said, please chime in and let me know your experience with this products and if yo would do it again, or pay a pro to take the chance.

Thanks.

As they say, sometimes silence says a lot, lol!

Lights are off to a pro to deal with it...

You're much better off that way. The cleavage in between the two parts of the light is difficult to get right.
