Smoked Lighting Protection Film

Smoked Headlights

Looking to tint your headlights? Headlight Armor High Performance Smoked Lighting Protection film applications - Headlight Tints if you will - are precision cut with a computer to fit your vehicles lights. They are made from our heavy-duty premium 15 mil thick material made to protect the outside of your lights. They have a clear acrylic adhesive backing for excellent durability and strength! They are applied in a manner similar to clear bras, tints, and vinyl stickers & graphics. This is the same material used by road racers to protect their lights at speeds over 150mph! The tough film helps shield and protect your lights against everyday road hazards that can damage and destroy your vehicle's very expensive lights, such as gravel, winter road salt/sand, and road debris.

Clear headlight savers have been in use for many years to great effect, and now they are available in a range of smoked tint too!

  • 50% Light Smoke. For those looking for a subtle smoked look, this is your best choice.

  • 30% Smoke. For those looking for a heavier smoked look and willing to accept the compromise of a 30% light transmission film.

  • 20% Dark Stealth Smoke. Great for those looking for the blackout look for their show car or track car that are never runs at night. A better alternative to traditional hard acrtlic covers held on with velcro or double sided tape.

Consider the cost of replacing a damaged composite headlight these days - over $800 EACH in most cases. Adding a layer of protection against the elements is a good idea - plus these are much easier to maintain than polycarbonate lenses, which are very susceptible to pitting. While others may use thinner 2-3mil versions of sign vinyl, or older thicker versions of 40-120mil vinyl we have found that our 15mil film offers the best combination of protection and ease of install.

Most Headlight Armor kits have a designed in tolerance of approx. 1/16" around the edge of the headlight housing to facilitate a smooth installation and provide good long-term performance. Most kits can be installed in 15-45 minutes. Take a look at your headlights, the more steep angles and bulges they have the more patience will be required to install these protective covers. If you don't feel confident about applying the film on your own, seek out the help of a friend.

The material is removable but you can only apply it once after the adhesive has set.

They are applied in a manner similar to clear bras, tints, and vinyl stickers and graphics. A better option than trying to paint your lights with some form of stained glass paint which can chip and flake off.

Please Note: Check your local laws before installing on road going vehicles as they may or may not be legal on your primary lighting in your state.
