Default Just installed 3M clear headlight protectors

This is basically a 14mm 3M film (same used in clear bra). The film is DOT approved and will not degrade the headlights clarity. The crap that you see on the film is the adhesive and not air bubbles. All the blur will disappear in a few days with heat from the sun and headlights. I have this film on my Mercedes and it protected it from serious rock chips as well as protecting from UV rays (protects from headlights turning yellow and blurry).

Default Were the lenses pitted /scratched and noticeable when lights were on?

If, yes how do they look now with the 3M film with the lights on?
Thanks

Default No scratches and pits..

My headlights are like new condition. If you put these film on a pitted or scratched headlights, you may see a bubble or imperfection. Its best to apply them on headlights that are in good shape. By the way, I like the looks of your car. I will be getting the same suspension setup tomorrow.

Default Have been working to buff out scratches and pits before 3M clear

You'll love the ride. Car feels tight and responsive. Make sure you also get 1/2 KMAC and do 4 wheel alignment.

Default I just got a set for my C32. OEM lenses cost $800, so it's cheap insurance.

I haven't put them on yet, but will do so before going to VIR with Audi Club.
