Just got my new 08 Forester. Any ideas on the best headlight and foglight protection offered? I am hoping to keep the outer lens from fogging as they have done on our Outback wagon.
Thanks, CAM

Other than using a Rockblocker type of film - I dunno. Even that may only protect from pitting, not sure about 'yellowing' though it seems likely.

sells it, plenty of other places as well (even eBay)

Thanks for the input. I found a place that has thick, flexible, adhesive backed plastic sheets to protect headlights, etc. It looks like it should work. CAM
Wouldn't it be UV that attacks the plastic, and a UV blocker might protect them? Ozone may get to them, so sealing them should help also.

we use those clear decals that you put over them. Use them on both the subaru and bmw (plastic & glass lenses) Keeps rock chips from damaging,a nd that "yellow" too from sand pitting....

I may be off in the spelling if link is no good Google for griot's garage Glenn
I use them for the foglights on my OBW (I took the grates off). They're 3mm thick plastic. I got them in yellow, which cuts through fog much better than white.
