Thumbs up Xpel Headlight Lens Protection Kit

Hey Fellas,

I really wanted to protect the NLA BOSCH H4 lenses so I looked at the competitor's ( starting with an "A") site they no longer offer the lens guards :-(

So I searched and found a product from Xpel here in the States. They had kits for the Sugar Scoops but sadly not the European version H4's or H1's. I guess I could use the H5's but I think those have location stubs which would look like poop.

So I order the universal cut to fit 19" by 8" Cut-To-Fit Lamp Protection Kit (two pieces) - XPEL

Measured and cut a slight oval 7,15/16" x 7, 5/8" using a high quality bone cutting scissors, steady hand later:



You need a heat gun at low to form the contours, kit includes instructions, squeegee.

I have to say $50 for two and peace of mind is not bad at all

Now I can go visit Moms 600 mile round trip without worries

Ah so desu :-)

Well, I am a cheap basturd and did not want to spend $85, but maybe I should have :-P

Oh well, it doesn't look too bad plus it will save the BOSCH's unless I hit a deer could you post yours?
