I dont think they sell the lense seperate. Hopefully insurance covers that. Our lights are expensive.
Yeah I hope so too. Made the claim as soon as I found it. Hoping to hear back soon..

That's gotta be a heck of a rock. Ages ago friend totalled an Audi A3 by front collision, spin, etc. Headlamps unscathed. It was beyond repair so we had some batting practice on the headlamp but darn thing wouldn't budge. Sure pressure point difference..
Anyhow I 2nd Xpel headlight. Had it on Supra have it on X6

Dang I guess it all depends on impact and what it was haha. But thanks for the 2nd, I will definitely be looking into Xpel once I get it repaired..

I mean from what i could tell car has PPF already. Idk what brand though; but definitely no PPF on the headlights. :(

Looking at the site now though, would these be the right ones to order?
And then maybe have a shop install them?

Those are smoked versions though.
If you don't want the tint get this:

Jeez. So many options now. Hate the XPEL website. Hasn't changed in terms of putting random names with no description and search brings up nothing..

Ultimate plus 7.8mil
Le 10 mil.
XUPL dunno. Based on datasheet this is 7.8mil. But then, what is the first option and why would thicker 10mil be cheaper. So fing stupid.
Found references saying plus is 8.5mil..
Better call these guys up n confirm.

Ps. You can easily apply this yourself. Xpel and it's application solution is forgiving, to a point. Get a squeegee, spray bottle and app solution. Then like 10 min job..
For sure clean beforehand as best as you can...

Oh you’re right I didn’t notice that ? I was just going to go with the more expensive option to be safe.
But I will contact them as you suggested just make sure I get what I need.

I usually don’t trust myself with applications, but maybe I can get some more car savvy friends to help. Not too long ago I had order some tint overlay for the top portion of the rear taillights and even though they were precut and all.. I kinda messed up the left side and it has some bubbles ? I was told I can get them out with a heat gun and a squeegee..
