    New XBs... Dont want them trashed by the sun and elements. What's your poison for headlight protection?

    Indoors with normal outdoor activities. My 6 year old Toyota halogens aren't bad. The tops are starting to get questionable. Wax might be an option

    3M has a Laminate. I wish they were glass like the old days.

    doesn't having a transparent film covering headlight hinder some of the light performance ?

    You are better off with a wax or a sealant type coating. Wax or sealant will work fine, does not last long (3 months) but simple enough to put new wax/sealant on every month (5 minutes). Those films are nice in theory but they all end up looking bad after a few years and then need to be removed, all the glue and residue cleaned up and new film applied. You may get 4 or 5 years out of a film.
