Ice and snow overnight here in TX has us locked in winter, so I thought I would share a recent customer install photo :

HID Blue Headlight Protection Kit and GT Yellow Fog Light Protection Kit.

Waiting for the snow and the boiler plate of ice underneath it to melt...

Snow if melting here in TX and after a stormy week we are glad to see the sun!

Friday was busy and we were able to get all outstanding orders (that were in by 3PM Friday) out on Friday! Weekend orders should be shipping out Monday.

Getting some nice photo submissions this past week too. Here is one from a C7 Corvette owner. Blue Corvette with our HID Blue Headlight Protection Kit, we love the look and of course the protection the material provides too

Have an interesting shot of your Headlight Armor equipped vehicle? Garage, sunny day, snowy day, out on the beach or anywhere in between?

Have a great weekend.

Great video on headlight restoration from /Drive Clean.
https://youtu.be/xa3GpmKax1I

Sandblasting does a number on the factory UV coating. Refinishing is your best solution if the headlights are in really rough shape. If they are not in that bad of shape you can also apply one of our Headlight Protection kits. The adhesive is going to tend to fill in the pitting resulting in a clearer headlight.

Video of the before / during / after here:

Refinishing is your best bet long term once the headlights get further deteriorated like in the video. Once you have finished the refinishing applying one of our Headlight Protection kits is your best bet. The protective material will protect against further sand erosion and eventual clouding, act as a physical barrier to oxygen and environmental contaminates, and is an easier medium to apply a UV protectant to regularly. Keep your refinished lenses looking great for years to come with a Headlight Armor headlight Protection kit!

Every so often we will field an email or question that goes something like this. “Will applying a Headlight Armor Headlight Protection Kit crack my lenses? I have heard about lens failures in certain popular applications, such as the C6 Corvette, 350Z, S2000 and such.”

In the past early S2000, C6 Corvette, and early 350Z owners reported some hairline cracking of the headlight lens – even without any protection applied. Most likely a chemical interaction or an OEM issue. A headlight protection kit is not going to cause failure of the polycarbonate…

Road & Track posted this article yesterday featuring used cars that have at least 400 HP and are a great performance deal: http://bit.ly/1CpASGU

Scroll down to #3 2005 Chevrolet Corvette. “What Goes Wrong: The C6 is often haunted by crankshaft harmonic dampers that work loose. Also, look for fractures in the headlights that can admit moisture, resulting in fogging.”

A headlight protection kit is not going to cause the polycarbonate / Lexan to fail. What you have seen and heard / been told has nothing at all to do with the headlight protection kit. Polycarbonate & Lexan, what most composite headlights are made from these days, have a continuous working temperature of between 248 - 475 F depending on the formulation, This means that water would boil instantly upon contact and that you would get a nasty burn if you touched them before they reached the failure point. The materials we use in our lighting protection kits have been tested to 225 F, significantly lower than what a headlight lens would fail at.

Polycarbonate lens failure is usually a manufacturing issue during the production of the polycarbonate, or a chemical contact issue. The latter could have occurred before you even picked up your car from the dealer. There is one dealer here in Dallas who had to replace a lot of headlights when it was discovered that the (outsourced) make ready / wash people were using wheel acid on the entire front of the vehicle to make bug removal easier... There is a long list of chemicals that the polycarbonate lens is susceptible to.

Closing out the week with a flurry of activity. Most orders in by noon today have shipped! Have an order in transit? Keep the following in mind.

Domestic: orders are available shipped
• Express Mail (1-2 days in transit - Delivered 6 days a week!)
• Priority Mail (2-3 days in transit)
• First Class Parcel (fog light protection kit orders only) (6-9 Days for delivery)

USPS has been erroneously quoting First class parcel delivery time in a few days though it will take about a week. This has caused some confusion and USPS is working out some systems issues as I was told.

When placing your order please verify your shipping address before submitting the order, or in the order verification email we will automatically send you once your order is placed. We seem to have been getting a steady stream of incorrect or incomplete addresses which causes the order to be placed on hold while we await an email reply. If you do not get an email confirmation within a few minutes of placing the order please check your junk or spam folder as the email may have been misdirected there.
