DIY: How to install headlight tint and protection
In this video I show you how to quickly install Lamin-x headlight protection film on the headlights of your car. The lamin-x film I chose was the tinted version which is their lightest tint. The process is really fairly simple but there are a number of complex curves that you will have to deal with. Regardless of that -- i would consider this to be a DIY modification for your BMW or any other car. The car that I installed this on was a BMW F30 328i but the process would be similar for other cars as well. In addition to protecting your lights you can use this film to tint your headlights.

The overall process took me about an hour as i was moving slow to not damage the film and to allow me to slowly deal with the complex curves.
Why install headlight protection film?
1) Modern headlight lenses are made from plastic and rock chips are very easy to get as you drive on the highway, and this kind of headlight protection film is actually self healing - meaning the mark from a rock chip will actually close up by itself over time.
2) Headlights, specifically LED headlights are extraordinarily expensive and you should install headlight protection film to try your best to preserve their clarity.
3) Headlight tint which I used here can dramatically change the look and aggression of your car with just an hours worth of work.
Things to do before you install headlight protection / tint the headlights on your car:
1) Make sure the headlight surface is incredibly clean -- anything that is on the surface of your headlight lens will be forever sealed under the headlight protection film
2) Fix any blemishes or marks you have in your headlights and address any concerns you have with the headlight surface before you put the film on
