I have rolls of window film from which I would like to cut to fit on my headlights for some additional protection while on the track.

I even have a spare couple of lights but will tell you tracing out the curves of the light and cutting the film into shape is a lot harder than it looks (for me anyway).

I'm wondering if anyone has bought and used tinted headlight film and has a template of the film's shape (when flat) that I could use for my project. Any help is appreciated.

 

if your not using your headlights at trade use painters tape.

 

Thanks, I've done that for years and am looking for a more permanent solution.

 

ahh, just thought it would be cheaper. only thing i can think of is lamin-x.. i know you said you have a roll of it but maybe you can get an "idea" from the pics on the website........................

 

Thanks yes. I even have a spare headlight I can use as a model. I'll tell you though, cutting this stuff out perfectly is tricky business and more difficult than I thought.

 

Laminex.

 

I'd personally be more worried about the paint than the headlights.

 

Well, paint is always a problem. Usually we spray the front w WD40 before an event, so that helps a bit. Here's a pic.
