HeadlightArmor Lighting Protection Kits for your C7 Corvette
 
Greetings from Headlight Armor!

Protecting your headlights and even add color to them in the process is wildly popular these days and we would like to think we have helped that trend along by supplying a number of well know vendors servicing other makes. We will strive to directly provide the Corvette Community with the highest quality lighting kits, first-rate customer service and of course highly competitive prices!

Consider the cost of replacing a damaged composite headlight these days - $hundreds of dollars EACH in most cases. Adding a layer of protection against the elements is a good idea - plus these are much easier to maintain than old fashioned clip on covers, which are just as susceptible to pitting as your headlights and susceptible to theft. While other companies may use thinner 2-3mil sign vinyl (know as overlays), 8mil paint protection film, or older thicker versions of 40-120mil vinyl we have found that our 15 mil films offer the best combination of protection, ease of install, along with long term performance.

We use a tough high performance vinyl that is designed to protect the lens first and foremost. Our lighting protection kits are manufactured from a 18 mil thick material for maximum protection and a long service life. For those of you with a clear bra, these are 3X thicker on average. Granted we are not talking about magic deflector shields and if you hit something big enough, going fast enough you run the risk of putting a hole in your headlight or fog light – no matter what you have covering it!

The application is pretty straightforward – we have some DIY Install tutorials on our site here. We have a full night Headlight Protection kit test session here. We also have a wide variety of installed photos in our various galleries on the site (links are on the top left of the site).

All of our Headlight & Fog Light Protection kits are available in Clear, HID Blue and GT Yellow along with 3 shades of smoke. The Clear headlight protection kits started it all. A classic clear layer of nearly invisible protection that will help protect your expensive headlights and help keep them from ending up pitted and frosted from all the sand blasting the front of the car is subjected to.

The HID Blue Headlight Protection Kits are designed to shine through bright white. The HID Blue covers give non-HID lamps the whiter HID look while protecting your lenses! Great for those with HID’s already too!
The GT Yellow Headlight Protection are used in various global sports car racing series’ and on GT production based road racing classes in the US to set them apart from other classes. They also simulate the 'French Fog' headlights and provide better visibility in rain, snow and fog - all while protecting them from flying debris. Gives your vehicle the racy I'm coming through look!

We also offer three versions of Smoked headlight Protection kits. Our 50% Light Smoke is for those who are looking for a more useful subtle smoked look. The Standard Smoke Headlight Protection kits are as dark as ~30% window tint on our meter. We also have an even darker Stealth Smoke version which allow just ~20% light transmission and look very dark when installed - great for show cars and track cars that are never run at night.

We operate on a mass customization manufacturing to order model. This means that once you place an order on our site it is checked, entered into our production queue and each item is custom manufactured just for you! Under normal circumstances orders place by 2PM CST/CDT are shipped out the same day via USPS First Class Parcel, Priority Mail or Express Mail. The base rate s/h is the same for all 50 states and US Territories BTW. We also offer free USPS priority Mail shipping to APO / FPO addresses on all orders no minimum.

Starting off the day with another DIY Video. Not a C7, but it is a Corvette... Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 gets its taillights smoked! Light Smoke Headlight Armor Smoked Taillight Kit. Nice subtle smoked look and a pretty easy application. Have a C6 Corvette or know a friend with one? This is a great visual mod!

HeadlightArmor 01-24-2014 09:09 AM

Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 gets its headlights protected with our Headlight Armor Clear Headlight Protection Kit. After many miles and a good number of track miles the headlights were still in good shape, but did have some pitting. The adhesive from the kit tended to fill in the surface imperfections and resulted in a clearer looking light that was now protected from further erosion. Win win.

Closing out January! For a long month, it flew by! Thanks to all who placed orders. All orders received by 3PM CT today are shipping today.

We have added some new video’s to our YouTube channel, and have more in the production process. Expect more video’s next month. We have added a bunch of new applications for 2014 models as well; so if you have a new vehicle we likely have a headlight protection kit for it!

Hope everybody has a Super Weekend!

HeadlightArmor 02-15-2014 09:09 AM

Saturday Update: Hope everybody had a great Valentines day ;) We had a busy Friday and were able to get out all orders that came in before 3PM CT! If you placed an order earlier than that, it is on its way. Monday is Presidents day, so orders in transit will have some delay. Also with the big snow in the south and east coast, USPS is reporting some delays there as well. USPS will be closed for Presidents day, so weekend orders will begin shipping on Tuesday. All weekend orders should ship our by Wednesday, so most domestic customers will have their orders by the weekend.

Hope everybody has a relaxing weekend!

HeadlightArmor 02-22-2014 09:21 AM

Saturday update: Friday was hectic, all lighting protection kit orders that came in before 3PM CT shipped out Friday! Weekend orders should all ship out on Monday. Hope everybody has a great weekend!

During the update, our store may be unavailable. Sorry for the late notice and any inconvenience. With luck the upgrades should improve overall site performance!

HeadlightArmor 02-27-2014 05:16 PM

2/27 All orders that were in before 3PM CT have shipped. Busy Thursday is done :)

HeadlightArmor 02-28-2014 09:52 AM

Answered a couple of customer email’s yesterday about bubbles and the potential for bubbles when applying our lighting protection kits and thought I would share some thoughts.
Air bubbles or water bubbles are usually a result of one of (or a combination of) three things: Insufficient water on the lens / adhesive side of the material, insufficient squeegee pressure, or getting the material too hot during application. If you see a bubble during the application process, no need to worry. All bubbles can be removed during the application process by lifting the area past where the bubble is, re-spraying with water and re-squeegeeing with additional squeegee pressure. The material and adhesive are pretty forgiving all things considered.

After the fact, if you do notice see you left some bubbles, again no need to worry too much, most of the time the bubbles will settle out over time. If it looks like they are small bubbles you can press them down little by little over time (daily) and they can be flattened out. We left a quarter sized water bubble for a dealer display a while back and had them do the same so they could explain the process and show the results to customer who came into their shop. I would really give it a few weeks as almost all we have seen have worked themselves out over time. How long will depend on how hot it is and the overall humidity level. Cold and damp is going to take a while longer than warm and dry.
Patience is key, no worries really.
