    Probably okay. But remember that un-touched VX headlights already have a UV coating that this product may remove when you take them off.

    Aren't they for stone protection?

    Yes, they are for stone protection only and do not offer any UV protection. My concern would be if hazing reappeared later on after they'd been applied. Can the same covers be removed and reapplied later; or, once they are removed do new ones have to be re-purchased??? I don't believe the stone guards will prevent eventual hazing from the sun.

    Personally, my best stone protection method is not to tailgate the vehicle in front of me (it saves both my headlights & paint job), while giving me greater braking distance/reaction time.

    They can be removed, but they're one use only.

    I haven't done my head lights restoration so far.
    But got GTS covers that i bought @ summitracing.com.

    When it comes to protect them from stones & UV these are the best choice i can think of so far.

    GTS covers comes in dark,transparent & carbon fiber.
    Dakar was just the begining.
