Red face 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film for headlights

Anyone purchase the paint protection film for the headlights?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/3M-Scotchga....c100276.m3476

Does it block the headlights range?

I have Xpel on mine with no issues and the clarity is excellent.

How long you had it? A tint shopped offered $50 per headlight with Xpel in my area. Does it turn yellow?

It was installed when I bought the car new in November of 17. No yellowing at all and very pleased with the product.

Same with charley95 - had Xpel Ultimate installed on the front half of my vehicle including my headlights and it's been since 2014 for me. Protects against light rock chips and other small debris perfectly fine. No reduction is headlight range/output/clarity and no yellowing whatsoever. Plus you have the added bonus of dead bugs wiping off way easier! Great investment overall imho.

All the best,

Thanks for info. I wonder if it keeps the headlights from turning yellow.
