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?

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..

Yes, my FLX also got scratches inside the lamp after tinted for 2 weeks.. immediately tear it off... regret that i tint it...

I don't think it's the blower during installation that cause scratches, because the scratches will keep increasing day by day after installation.

yeah guys, the cracks are called 'craze', just fyi.
happens to these plastic headlights under the sun
mine has so much of that, i dont even know what to do lol

**ohh yes, should mention that, it can be dealt with if it isnt too bad**

Hi, do you know how to repair the scratches? Or need to buy new headlamp ??

gave you the keyword, u can google it now....

basically u need to polish it, use sandpaper if nessasary
*again, only if it isnt too bad*

Okay thanks, guess i need to open the headlamp to do it cause the craze is on the inside... Thanks anyway!

ehhh!!!! nuuuuu.... fairly certain its on the outside

If the hazing and scratches are already too bad, maybe better just replace with new cover coz it might not cost as much as you think. For my car, it's apparently cost only about rm120 to replace with new ones.

hoho mine cannot even cari good condition headlights... mau custom buat also duo where to go.... ahh welp, just live with it i guess

I already asked how much for my new headlight, it is RM400 plus for one set.

most of new car nowadays no need tint alrdy, coz the material built to release the heat or such, if u stick it will somehow damage the glass, at least thats what the tint shop guy told me, and my car headlamp still ok after 3 years without tint now..

U park direct under sunlight? or have changed headlight bulbs?

Not the whole light housing, just the clear lens only!

firstly, congratz to you guys for successfully necro'ing a 3yr old thread

now, just to add based on my experience, if you have a new car, theres no need to apply the tint. The reason is to apply the tint, they will sandpaper/polish your brand new headlights. Then to stick it, they will blow heatgun to the headlight, which due to high temp might cause it produce fine cracks like the pic shown by on poster. Its pointless as these procedures will spoil your new headlights when theres no need to do so in the first place.

But.. if you have a 10yr old car with already yellowish plus cracking headlights and dont want to cough up rm400 to replace just the headlamp cover, this is a fantastic solution to that. Just pay around rm150 and you can have your headlights looking brand new and in colors as well. The fine cracks wont be that noticeable but the yellowish hue might remain a little after applying a clear tint (only if viewed from close range) and if you apply dark colored tint, both the cracks and the yellowish tint will be gone.

PS: dont touch the tint for a day or two after applying it, but leaving it under the sun is okay. Just ignore the temptation to remove any bubbles that might form and it will go away in 2-3 days time. Learnt this the hard way

New car don't sell the lens only, they sell for the whole set though. Of course I would buy the lens only if they have it on sale.

Tinted it because it looks cool with darker headlight not because of yellowish or other thing..

Oh so for your car not available separately? Hmm I guess not your luck then. Other option is try to find in chop shops if available.

Nah, my car is still new in town. Maybe if my car is 10 years old then there will be separate parts for sale. lol

use plasti dip 'smoke' color

can peel off

Where to get it?

ace hardware, lelong, mudah

Okay thank you so much !!

anyone know where to get clear coat to spray on headlight? Cant seem to find it anywhere.

Clear spray anywhere can buy. Clear spray with UV inhibitor, I've been looking for that too for my headlamps... then I gave up & decided to tint them.

also been looking..... cannot seem to find it at all.....

nak tint, but all the horror stories.... my headlight ko, i also duno where to find a replacement set

Buy replacement like rm 150 per piece. But the clear coat spray for uv from rustoleum cost around usd 6 per bottle nia. If include sand paper also less then rm 50...
