Given that the 964 headlights are getting old and that replacement parts are not exactly inexpensive (what on a 964 is right) has anyone had any experiance with Headlamp Lens Protecting films?

If you have, do they last a long time?
Do they start to peal off after a while?

Any other tidbits we should know about.

I have used the covers from www.mats.com (MacNeil). Their LampGuard products are 40 mil thick (cheaper products are 20 mil) and cut to the correct shapes. I have them on two cars, both for the headlights and fog lites. They have been on for five years and you can't see that they are there. Prior to installing the covers, I had replaced two fog lamps in two years....now no replacements in five years, including track driving.

I've had good luck with "StonGuard" covers. I installed them about 10-15 years ago. They have worked very well. I purchased mine from Zims after a stone cracked one of my fog lamps. I cringed at the replacement price and searched for a way to not have to replace them again. (no affiliation with either).

I put 3M clear covers on my headlights 3 years ago. I have used them on other cars, and never had a problem with appearance or lens breakage.

I have used the 3M covers for about 2 years now with no problems.

Talk about timely!

I just applied 3M's (from Performance) on the headlights & foglights on Saturday.
Was much easier than anticipated, provided you have a hair-dryer gun at hand to help bring things up to temperature.

Side benefit: the film's adhesive backing fills in the surface road rash 'haze', returning a surprising amount of clarity to both the glass (headlight) and plastic (foglight) lenses.

A good 1/2-hour project.

(And from this I'm now enthused enough to begin saving for clear bra made of same type of material!)

I have XPEL on my car. Very easy to put on and up to $1000 per lens coverage IIRC.
