I have the same size on my 2005 Mini Cooper. Came with R16, but I switched to R17. :thumbsup

So if you want to avoid them becoming yellow and hazy, you need to either put vinyl on them or coat them with a product like opti coat pro.

Otherwise it's a temporary fix.

Exactly Vas :thumbsup I will be ordering Opti Coat Pro and Laminex to apply to my restored lens before mounting them to my headlights.

Gave the ZHP a much needed bath. I still need to do more serious detailing but it won't be for a little while. The haze today is crazy from all the forest fires, the county line fire and the Cougar Creek left ash on the driveway.

Cool interactive map (look at Washington State!)

I don't see a map here. But sometimes things won't show on my iPad.

The Opti Coat puts a protective UV coat in the refunished surface of the lens and the Laminex film further protects the surface of the lens from pitting over time. That's why I'm doing this Vas. As expensive as these lens get over time, doing this will save money as I won't need a replacement lens compared to those who don't put a protective film over their lens.

Iono. Phil at detailers domain said opti coat was enough.
