Reviews: Clear Guard Headlight and Signal Lamp  Protection Kit

Are your headlight plastic lenses dull and hazy from constant exposure to road debris and the elements? Tired of replacing broken headlights and fog lights? With the average cost of replacement fog lights and headlights nearly $375.00 it's nice to know Clear Guard Light Protection Kits are available for your vehicle.

Clear Guard Headlight Protection Kits are designed to eliminate headlight lens breakage and scratches. They  are manufactured from a press polished thermoplastic vinyl material treated with a durable highly polished finish to form a flexible optically clear sheet. This material offers scratch resistance, dimensional stability, excellent clarity and weathering capabilities, as well as good RF resistance. Coupled with the strongest 3M adhesive available, each meets or exceeds the material requirements of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the American National Standards (ANSI) Code for safety.

"Clear Guard light kits have under gone extensive laboratory testing, our light covers will withstand a barrage of 1" diameter stones fired at a speed of 120mph with no damage to the lens they protect. We are so confident in the performance of our kits that we offer a $1,000 Headlight Replacement Guarantee as well as a 4-year product warranty".

Headlight Kit Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: Please read the instructions thoroughly before beginning application.

1) Prepare a alcohol/water solution using rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol) using 1 part alcohol to 1 part water. 

2) Use the mixed solution to thoroughly clean the surface of the headlight being certain to remove all grease, wax, tar and dirt. Dry the headlight with a lint free cloth. 

3) For best results, both the headlight and the Clear Guard Headlight Protection Kit should be above room temperature during installation. This can be accomplished by turning on the lights to warm the lenses or using a blow dryer.

4) Before removing the protective backing paper, dry fit each piece to be certain that you are applying the proper piece on the proper light.


5) Wet your hands and fingers with the alcohol solution and make sure they stay wet thorough out the installation process. WARNING: Handling the shield with dry fingers will leave permanent visible marks on the adhesive.


6) With hands and fingers wet, remove the backing paper and immediately spray the now exposed adhesive side of the piece thoroughly with the alcohol solution.

7) Spray the warmed headlight thoroughly with the alcohol solution.


8) Apply the piece to the light and use your hand to smooth the piece onto the light from the center out.


9) Then use the squeegee provided with your kit to force the solution out along the edges of the piece by using firm, continuous strokes, from the center out. On contoured surfaces, the adhesive will not stick to the lens immediately. In this case, use the heat gun or hair dryer to gently heat between the lens and the plastic. This will soften the plastic and evaporate some of the moisture allowing for better contouring of the material. DO NOT OVERHEAT THE PLASTIC. The material needs only to be warmed.


NOTE: The shields may have a slightly hazy appearance after the initial installation. This is caused by residual moisture being trapped under the shield and is normal. The moisture will dissipate over a time depending on the ambient temperature and humidity levels.
