Lightbulb Protect Your Headlights

Today I had 3M Headlamp Rock Guard installed on my euro headlightss. I thought it was a good idea in order to save them from chips or breaking from stones. It looks really clean, you can't even tell the film is on them unless you look close and see the margins. The place I had them installed gave me a $1000 replacement warranty if my headlights crack because of a rock
It was a little pricey, $90 CDN installed and tax included, but I think a good long term investment.

That sounds good. It would definately be worth the investment. I should do that guard on the hood too once that is repainted. I'm pretty pissed. right now I have sooo many rock chips. they seem to be coming randomly a lot lately too.

You can also check out Stongard http://www.stongard.com/sgcontent/default.asp I hear their stuff is excellent. Pretty expensive but they have custom kits that protect most of the front of your car.

Make sure the installer puts on the thick stuff for the headlights.
