those look like they'll take a while to do with the DIY method.

My headlights are in a good shape now and I want to know how can I maintain them?

well... u might be able to get some clear plastic covers for them, alot of new cars come with full frontal covers like that. check at the dealer ship or something if they can do it..

its a clear stick on plastic cover. it shud prevent alot of damage headlights would normally put up with.

its like putting clear tape on ur headlights... but its thicker, stiffer, and 1 solid piece

Do you now the cost of it?

Much better.

Yes, the plastic heaglight films are good for protecting your lenses against scratches and damage from small stones. A relative of mine used a similar product for the face shield on her full-face motorcycle helmet. The films might yellow after several years, but it's easier to peel it off and replace the film than re-polish your headlights.

Nice work. You need to be able to see at night. You know, that is kinda important.

Good Job.
