OhSix - Thanks for your concern, and I respect your opinion. If I was to get them, and I am not saying that I am. I would most likely lean toward the tinted film. Anybody else know where I can find prices for this. Thanks
Are you looking for pre-cut film specific to the RL? I've not looked but if kits exist, perhaps suppliers of "clear bra" products would have something? RL production #'s might be low enough no one sees the business case for pre-cut head/tail packages but you should be able to find out fairly quickly if they exist or not.
The only comment I'll add is: applying films on surfaces with compound curves can be frustrating b!tch of an experience - unless you are already well practiced with such things. Like all techniques, practice makes perfect so if you are going DIY, pick up a little extra film and practice away.
I have a side question.
I know we have all experienced or at least seen clouded headlight lenses on vehicles. My RL has the problem. Has anyone ever seen a clear film that would protect the lenses from clouding? Is it even possible?
Same answer as above from me. Not sure anyone makes pre-cuts kits.
On your topic: after buffing the OEM lenses a couple times only to have the cloud return, I opted for new replacement headlight buckets and had them covered with Clear Guard. In theory, these will never haze again.
My idea is to buff the original headlight assemblies while they are off the truck, on a bench where proper buffing steps/stages can happen. When they are returned to pure transparency, have them covered in Clear Guard. Or if they turn out like new, maybe even spring for Clear Plex. Its made for windshields but I assume its good on polycarbonate plastics too. 100% UV blocking - I grabbed ahold of a black steering wheel in a BMW that had been sitting out on a 100 degree day. Interior wasn't the normal blaze of heat gain from UV streaming to an interior - no where near the "normal" of 140 or more. The steering wheel was only lightly warm - all of its heat was soak from ambient air - not the concentration of UV. During that demo, a rock was thrown at (what is probably) a $1K windshield. It bounced away, not mark or spider web left behind. Jaw dropping. Clear Plex is thick, much less pliable than Guard, so it might not wrap curves well. But it they come up with a solution for that, Plex might come down in price and be a great bra type solution.
