Hi all roadster. Did a search in the forum but I can't find any info about this. Lately, I saw alot of cars being new or old and I saw their headlight got some kind of coating which a transparent headlight will have a coating like it's in blueish and some are in cromax color. I see that it's nice. Besides being nice, I'm sure it will protect the headlight as well.

Any idea what treatment it is and where it's being done?
Thank you.

That is sticker.. And not tinting.. But hor.. Some car will cause damage after stick the sticker... Especially proton... =.=" victim here..

bro, you sure will damage the lamp? Have done to my car on blue tint. According to the tint shop, it can be remove, it will not damage ur lamp. erm need some advice here cuz i have just stick it for 5months.

hii .bro .. wad do u mean by damage ? isit it will permantely stick on the headlamp cover after long time use .

personally, i'd suggest those with plastic headlamps not to tint it.
malaysian sun.... might cause permanent effects on the headlamps?

Any recomended place to do this in kl?

im not sure about the problem is at te tint film or the headlamp itself ?
some of my fren told me this problem will occur if tint it ..
the 2nd problem is u will got problem with JPJ as well ..
is illegal to tint ..

there is an headlamp protector, totally clear transparent, but save ur headlamp from become brittle and yellowish and got white spot, in other words, save it from sun. use good quality one, then u can save ur headlamp. i used the one from germany, car detailer give me free becos i do coating at the shop, normally cost u 100-200.

+1

The boss also test the strength, can tahan pull like those invincible shield won't puncture.. I think worth la.. can protect 3-5 yrs, take off headlamp still new.. remember buy good one, else u having trouble taking off later

agree , those cheaper type will end up with the tint permanent stick on ur headlamp ..

I think those color one will.. cos tis one is like very flexi.. the tint headlamp if like car tint very keras one..

Hi, there, I do a head lamp spray coating today, the coating specialist spray coat a nanotechnology head lamp laquer on my Toyota Wish head lamp, which claim that the laquer contains uv protection toward sunlight, without this protection the head lamp tend to crack and became yellowish after sometime. After sprayed, my Wish head lamp look like new and got warranty 2 years some more.

How much? And where to do it?

what kind of damage?

The ones that you mentioned are color tint film for headlamps which offers very minimal protection against yellowing & stone chips as it is purely for looks. They are very thin in thickness.

If you wanted proper protection then go for 3M VentureShield. It's 6mm in thickness. Cost about RM200-300 for a pair of headlamps + foglamps. The only downside is they are not colored.

Here's the picture..
Model : Proton Saga FLX



I've using it till 2 weeks like that it appear the scratching like that.. not exterior.. is interior.. and then I quickly tear it off after noticed it. Then my friend say maybe the heat got blocked by the sticker and can't release, that's why it got scratched inside.. 1 of my friend's Satria NEO also got kind of this problem..
and I noticed KIA Forte also cannot use headlamp sticker too..

I believe the heat from the bulb when in used is much higher and hotter than the "trapped" heat due to the sticker. So I don't think what your friend mentioned is logical.

it could be the intense heat from the heat gun/blower that is used during installation that causes this.

But it's impossible they use heat gun to blow the flat face right ? mostly they blow to curve area.. but the problem is it got crack at flat face..
