If you are handy enough to apply paint protection film yourself on the head lights than the main auto stores (repco, supercheap, autobarn etc) should have film.
There are head light kits available where you just cut out the size to your head lights, apply with soapy water and squeeze out the air bubbles.
If you can't find the kits or a small roll of PPF then try any PPF supplier/fitter. They can cut and fit (for a price), takes about 1hr to do.
The days of being able to find plastic head light covers have long gone.
The main advantage of the PPF is to offer some protection from stone/rock chips. They won't save a head light from a major impact (like a roo). Todays head lights are made from plastic so any minor rock impacts will just chip at the head light not smash them like the old glass sytle of days gone by.Flipper Dog

Car Care Products sell a temporary protection film which you can apply yourself. It’s designed for road trips etc where its only used for a short period of time.

Your headlights are plastic - every car since about the year 2000 have plastic headlights.
As for product recommendations, ive used the xpel brand of paint protection film (the permanent one, not the temporary version) and its good quality.Last edited by Lucas_R; 03-10-2022, 04:00 PM.Comment
