For the lci e90. my car started showing sign of wear and tiny marks in the headlights. Before is too late i'd love to cover them with a clear film.

Weathertech has a kit and looks very affordable under $100.

get the car detailed, paint correction and then apply film, invisiblemask.com has precuts for our cars, also if you want best clear bran then go for xpel self healing

As stated above, we always apply Xpel or Suntek PPF to clients' headlights for protection. Some installers use kits and others custom cut, so you can either check with a local installer or try to order online and do it yourself. If you decide to do it yourself, you may be best off getting extra film and doing a practice run at least on one headlight, because while it's fairly easy to do, it's not foolproof.

Do either of those include a UV protectant? I'm going to have to break down and do the headlights (or get someone to do it) but want to make sure I have UV blocker ready to go, either coating or film.

I believe both have a good UV protectant within the self healing top coat, but you can also always add a protective coating on top of the film.
