Hey guys I own an 2008 Acura tl-s and I was wondering what product is the best product to use on my tl to prevent them from getting damaged from the sun etc? (from turning all yellow from the sun) and help would be great thank you!

Here you go:

Enter your vehicle and it'd be the 3M Aerospace Lightgard.

I just put some on some modded headlights I bought from AckTL.

Pretty sure its illegal everywhere though, just FYI. You can't really tell they're on there though unless you look for the film since its perfectly clear.

Applying them is a wet lay and I used Rapid Prep to clean the headlight, rapid tac to clean it after the rapid prep and then more rapid tac to apply the film as a wet lay.

Its easy to get bubbles or liquid trapped under the film if you don't do it right, need a heat gun as well and a felt or foam type of squeegee that isn't going to scratch the film.

May be worth it to have someone install the film for you at a vinyl shop that is experienced in it and can do it without getting bubbles or can just DIY.

Wow talk about an informative post in that thread.


Also OP, I looked around for clear film for the headlights and the one I referenced above is the best there is.

That's also the only vendor I could find that sells it.

Just put some good carnauba wax on them once a month, and you'll be good. Been doing this for a few years and I've had no issue.
