GB: Headlight film protection for W124 euro lights or 94-95 DOT lights

I talked to Chris at Lamin-X and through the end of the month he is hooking it up for us at 30% off, and he will ship directly to you. Just follow the shopping cart or give him a call.

http://www.lamin-x.com/category-s/887.htm

I did 20 mil on the headlights, and 40 mil on the foglights, just FYI. You can do Clear, or other colors. Other colors may get you in trouble though.

please just contact him directly or use the shopping cart. No need to contact me, I already did the legwork.

never seen anyone sell film for the signals, but maybe you could take a heat gun to some film and try to form them over the signals. probably going to have to just leave them be though...

after I made the template, I mailed it to LaminX, but you are welcome to bring some big pieces of paper and trace with a woodworking pencil over my headlight film. There is enough of a ridge to trace it out.

hey, we were talking about curving it around your turn signals. If you noticed I wraped it around the lower edge of my bumper, so I think you can do it.

You can look at it again if you want, just email me.

Be careful if you are using on a aftermarket headlight with a plastic lens.
The film could cause crazing and cracking in the plastic.

There was a problem with some film applications on C6 Corvette headlights which GM wouldn't warranty...
