My headlights are getting pitted pretty bad from commuting. I was looking into a "clear bra" type of solution, but could only find a couple types that fit my 335IS. Does anyone use these or have recommendations for brands/types?

Here is what I found so far. Reviews aren't good:

Lamin-X is your best bet, or go to a local paint protection film shop and get 3M or XPel.

I'm using XPel Headlight protector and on my side mirrors see the link below! No issues with it whatsoever.

Thanks guys! Do you also recommend the install kits, or will something like Windex be good enough to wet-apply the film? The install kits are expensive...

What I did was mix 1 part alcohol 3 parts of water in a spray bottle. The bubbles take a week or so to dissipate but the Sun helped it cure faster.

Also the film is pretty thick so take your time and don't rush it, I also used a blow dryer to help with the process.
