The light blue headlight film is Rockblocker headlight protectant. It was pretty easy to apply and yes, it does protect my headlights. Acura installed new headlights due to the condensation problems. I applied the Rockblocker film on it right away. We have some road contruction right outside my neighborhood now and the film is working great to protect the headlights. Thank you for the compliment.

Here's a link to my headlight and taillight tint:

Those were my original headlights. I did a better job on my new headlights. But used the same method. Just make sure the lens are very clean and take your time.

Yes, I think it was you that posted about this mod and included a DIY. Great write-up and it was pretty easy to do. Actually the hardest part was finding the XMetal paint. Thanks for that DIY I've had nothing but great revues on the look. How you do like what I did with the dip stick handle? The orange just didn't go well.
