I live in S FL and between the constant sun and salt air my head lights have taken a beating and are starting to turn yellow and cloud. I have had friends do restoration on their headlights on for it to last only about a month or 2. I was contemplating buying a set of the headlights from eBay. Has anyone installed a set on their F?

Which set from eBay are you referring to?

eBay sell OEM and aftermarket head lights

same here. I had the headlights opened and restored the lense then painted black on the hosing. you can add protection film something like xpel etc. on the lense to reduce the oxidation.

i use Meguirs Plastx for the yellowing. have you tried that? but yeah, after a few weeks they will start to get cloudy/yellow again.

If you buy another set, it'll only happen again. You can always have a body shop polish it out, but you polish away the UV protection. You have to coat it with a UV sealant for it to last a bit longer.

Zen, how long does the film last?

I was looking at the aftermarket sets.

Hey G9N, on my last car, I ran into the issue described being in S FL as well until I ran into Brett, the headlight guy. His process is different than any others and the best part is, he comes to you and he's very inexpensive. I had the car another six months before selling it and the headlights still looked like new. If you're interested, check him out at http://www.theheadlightguy.us/

The film should last 3-5 yrs depends on how you maintain them down the road. I had these installed by a professional shop and the installer recommend to spray liquid wax on them from time to time to make them last longer. Also, the film reduces the rock/chip road debris damages on the head light lense.
