Can this 3m film be used to protect headlights?

Yes.. for sure... have it on my truck- body and headlights. Will not work on chrome

Heat from headlights would be too intense for film. Better to buy a good quality carnauba wax and use the film for high impact painted surfaces.- J

Since headlamps are auto plastic material, I tend to avoid using chemicals that may cause it to degrade under sun/heat. I don't use this product on my headlights, but it's perfectly fine on glass windows.

I beleive so and have always used other waxes and this one and have never had any issues with my headlights clouding or yellowing. The headlights have always stayed new lookign with every wax I have used and expect this to be the same with the 3M. Excellent protection it seems and superior beading with this wax!

I have not removed mine, but it is not supposed to. My understanding from the instructions is that you should heat the area a bit with a hair dryer to aid in removal. 3M makes top notch stuff. I am not worried about it when the time comes to remove the film. Stick to the 3M stuff. And no, I don't work for 3m;)

I didn't try it on the headlights, just the interior door trim. I just received and applied Klasse Vinyl, leather, rubber and plastic cleaner and conditioner and it works great. Went on uniform and leaves a satin (non-glossy) finish. I would recommend that product instead.

This is a wax, not a compound cleaner.I would think that this would not protect from headlights hazing.

This product does offer some sealer but for best results and customer satisfaction, I use Meguiars headlight protection product, G17104 because of the UV protection and sealing. Restoring headlights is a business for me and I do many different lights in all types of condition, my best advice is , clean, clean, clean the lenses before you start. It is like painting, the surface you start with depends on the final result. I hope this helps...

I'm not sure, but I don't think these would be good for any headlight application.I've found them to be light duty - as the price indicates.

Do NOT use it. It does NOT work well on headlights, you won't be able to see at night, it's VERY illegal and your headlights will look purple.

I wouldn't attempt to use this on glass. As others have mentioned; it is solely designed to be used on headlights which are made of plastic. So in that regard... if you are trying to buff something plastic, then go ahead; if glass, I would avoid it.

I am not a scientific expert. My headlight cover had cataracts. The outside lens had a film which diffused the light and stopped a lot of the light lightening up the road for me. The outside lens cover was no longer clear. The product vastly removed most of the film. The outside lens cover is not 100% clear. I followed the directions and tried to get the outside lens back to its original perfect condition. But I got about 95% of the film off and the headlights do a lot better for me.

Do not use headlight restore products. I used it on my windshield on my motorcycle and it destroyed it. That stuff is designed for a specific type of plastic. You've been warned.

I dont think so it has a problem fixing smaller scratches in my headlights.

yes but you will get a double layer of numbers since windshields are two pieces of glass. the film will also increase daytime visibility by a good amount

It is strapped to the visor so it is too high to block headlights. It might depend on the car and the size of the windshield.

The protectant is a milky fluid that you apply on after the polishing. It is meant to flow into microcracks. So far it has been 3 months and my headlight still looks like new.

I have only used it for windshield & glass installations, but I sure don't see why not. I consider most of the 3M products the best out there.
