I had a question from a board member about just how much heat headlight protectors can take. I understand that it is common practice to heat the lights to 225

 

Nice, thanks for the information. It's great to know with a great price on these, we get customer service as well. I'll be recommending you guys!

 

Mike,

Thanks for the update. I'll be installing these soon if it ever gets warm again down here.

What seems to be the best ambient temperature range for the installation?

 

I wonder who ask that question ??







Mike, thanks for the info.

 

I'll post more results on my website as soon as I do the headlight page. Here are the preliminary results.

225F Dynashield urethane is OK, XPEL 40 mil vinyl is OK, An certain brand of 80 mil vinyl shrunk and disbonded, looks bad.

235F No change except that the certain brand of 80 mil vinyl has turned cloudy.

245F-265F No change

275F this seems to be the upper limit on the DynaShield urethane and XPEL vinyl. The DynaShield urethane is showing signs of melting on the edges and the vinyl is turning yellow.

285F House starts to smell.

I would say that baking the lights at 225F for 10-20 minutes puts DynaShield and XPEL at minimal risk. Be careful with the film as fingerprints and such can be permanent. Don't even think about it with the 80 mil.
