Default Will Clear Bra helps Headlight's hazzing ?

I was just wondering since our headlight will have a hazzing film after several years. i was thinking to put a clear bra on it to prevent it ? Will it helps ? Will it just slow the process or the lights will get hazzing no matter what ?

Thanks

you can use plastx to prevent it from happening i dot it every month i apply plastx to my head lights by hand and clean them every week with plexus..
and to answer you question about clear bra i think it only helps for rock ships not hazzing

you can still put the clear bra to protect your car from rockchips and use plastx and plexus to prevent your headlights from hazing

Yeah, because ever clear bra I've seen has "cut outs" for the headlights, so the plastic headlight lenses are still exposed.

3M Paint Protection Films are UV rated and WILL protect your headlights from hazing.

The hazing I have seen is from small sand impacts along the lens edging...thats why you can use a PC to polish them off to clear them.

Here is a lens dehazing thread.

A clear bra is a must have on this front end especially around the headlight housings. A good installer will also have a bra type coating for the lens which will inhibit the hazing but even a bra will have it's own visual artifacts you have to cope with...
