Headlight Protection
Weathertech offers a headlight protection kit for the SL for $50. Has anyone installed it? It should reduce the chance of a damaged headlight if struck by a stone or other road debris and also help prevent yellowing that occurs with age.

i had a wrapper wrap mine,

from the shape of headlights i would highly recommend using a pro installer with experience on these.

our headlights have a 3 dimensional shape and definately need working around corners etc with heat gun.
