Headlight film lifespan varies depending on the type of film used.
Here's a breakdown:
Headlight Film Longevity
| Film Type | Typical Lifespan |
|---|---|
| Standard Tint Film | 2 to 3 years |
| Colored PPF | Up to 10 years |
Factors Affecting Headlight Film Lifespan:
- Film Type: As noted, standard tint films have a shorter lifespan compared to colored paint protection film (PPF).
- Environmental Conditions: Exposure to harsh sunlight, extreme temperatures, and road debris can degrade the film more quickly.
- Installation Quality: A poorly installed film is more likely to peel, bubble, or discolor.
- Maintenance: Regularly cleaning and maintaining the film can help extend its life.
Practical Insights:
- You can change the film before it reaches the end of its lifespan if you want to try a new shade or film type.
- High-quality films are generally more durable and last longer.
- Consider professional installation for best results.
Therefore, while standard tint films typically last two to three years, colored PPF can last up to 10 years as referenced from the 28-Mar-2022 article.
