Headlight Armor

Has anyone covered their front headlights with Headlight Armor?

I bought my car used and the headlights are startingto yellow. I was thinking of covering them with the light tint.

If anyone has done it pics would be greatly apprecialted.

Don't think it works too well with HID headlights or Fogs.
It will cause the it to get too hot.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I was thinking about getting it for my fogs also but I install hid on the bottoms.

I have used them in the past on my Audi, it has HIDs. No problems so far and it has been about 3-4 years.

I bought some, I'll post pics once installed.

I got mine from http://www.clearmask.com. I had the lens resurfaced by an auto body shop, then had them installed. No problems.

I've installed them in the past on cars with HID lights, and just ordered a set for our new RDX (both headlights and fogs).

I installed headlight armor on both an RDX and TSX. They work great, no issues. Only suggestion is you may want to remove the yellowing from the headlights before installing, colored film will dim the headlights.

The RDX headlights shouldn't be too bad. I installed them (for the first time) on my 2006 Subaru Legacy spec.B, and those head lamps have a large "bulge" right in front of the low beam projector... Those took a while!
