I'd be interested in this as well, I have a headlight lens that needs replacing and I want to use the film on it.
Perhaps its sold in sheets somewhere?
Also, where did you find your replacement lens and for how much?
Best,

[quote name='sp4149' post='34543' date='Apr 23 2007, 06:06 AM']In the past others have recommended Stonegard protective film for the 968 headlights. It seems that they no longer market a "968 kit". Anyone have a source or an alternative? I have a cracked right headlight lens(and a replacement lens) but I haven't fixed it yet, waiting to install a protective film. Somehow after the trouble and expense of finding a new lens, I don't want it broken before it can get some protection.

Found this one that ships worldwide, based in New Zealand.

Going to get some for my car, which now has a cracked headlight from a stone.
Aside: the lens on a headlight is cracked, can I replace just the glass....or do I need to buy another assembly with all the plastic surround etc?
Just realised my car is at the speedshop, so cant measure the size I need. Does anyone know what the dimension of the headlight is, top to bottom, right to left, including the curve of the face?

I was just at Niello yesterday looking at this. Apparently the lens and reflector are one piece, which leads me to believe the lens is not replaceable without some homespun surgery.

"It is still listed in the Griots garage catalog on page 55. It is called "headlight shield" and is available in sheets of: 11" x 17" or 22" x 17".
www.griotsgarage.com or (800) 345-5789"
I just applied this product. It is not as thick as some I have seen but it was easy to work with. The sheet size 11 x 17 is large enough to cover both head lights and Fog/Driving lights (if you are careful laying it out). This stuff cuts easy with a good pair of sissors and the alignment bumps can be cut with a razor blade knife. I did have some bubbles left after application - but as noted in the instruction - they dissapeared after a few days and are totally clear.
