Headlight films are made of thermoplastic polyurethane, a state-of-the-art, super-resistant material. Thanks to its self-healing properties, it can repair itself with heat, protecting the surface from chips and scratches. But that’s not all! Headlight film for cars protect headlights from UV rays and weather elements that cause the headlights to become cloudy and yellow!
If you didn’t know, these films can be applied not only to car headlights but also to all painted parts, including the bodywork, glossy black plastic interior parts (piano black), and all interior screens, whether touchscreen or not.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, headlight films offer several significant advantages. First, they protect headlights from daily wear and tear and damage caused by road debris like stones and insects. Additionally, they help prevent yellowing and cloudiness due to UV rays and external weather elements, which can impair nighttime visibility and reduce the car’s aesthetic appeal.
For these reasons, we recommend applying headlight film immediately after purchasing your car to keep them intact and perfect as if they just came out of the dealership.
What if My Headlights are Cloudy and Yellowed? In this case, we first work on the damaged headlight, performing a polycarbonate re-crystallization. Once the original transparency of the headlight is restored, we proceed with the application of our PPF films.
Installing Headlight Film: DIY or Trust a Professional?

When it comes to installing headlight film, DettaglioAuto provides a clear recommendation: trust a professional rather than opting for DIY application. This is because applying the films requires a certain level of skill and experience. Without the proper familiarity with the necessary techniques and tools, there is a risk of damaging the film or the headlights themselves. Several factors need to be considered when applying the film, such as working in a climate-controlled, optimally clean environment since dust or dirt particles can slip under the film during application. Therefore, it is essential to follow all installation procedures correctly to ensure an optimal and long-lasting result.
Additionally, by choosing us, we offer an added benefit: our films have a 10-year duration. This means you can have peace of mind that the job is done professionally and that your headlight film will protect them for a long time.
Maintenance and Care of Headlight Film for Cars

To keep headlight film in optimal condition, it is important to follow some maintenance and care practices. First, it is advisable to avoid using abrasive cleaners to clean the headlight, as they could damage the film’s surface. We also advise against washing the headlights with a power washer, as the high pressure applied to the film’s edges could cause it to peel off.
Thanks to its hydrophobic, oleophobic, and antistatic properties, the film will make the surface less prone to getting dirty. Additionally, it will make daily cleaning much easier and faster; a damp cloth will suffice.
Differences Between Headlight Film and Headlight Painting

The main difference between headlight film and headlight painting is that the latter is not a protection service but a repair option, used to fix the appearance of cloudy and yellowed car headlights. Headlight film for cars, on the other hand, offers complete protection, covering the entire surface of the headlight and shielding it from external damage and UV rays. However, applying film to a damaged headlight is not possible! Therefore, if you have not applied film to new headlights but want to do so on a used car’s headlights, polishing the headlights is essential before applying the PPF.
