The Model Y Juniper has a very distinctive light bar that sits right above the front bumper. This light bar gets hit just as much as the front bumper or hood due to its location. So, what’s the easiest way to protect the most vulnerable strike zone? Paint protection film.
You can put PPF on lights?
Even though PPF stands for Paint Protection Film, you can absolutely put PPF on headlights, taillights, and other glass features like the b pillars.
This film has changed a lot over the years with the advancement of technology, providing more versatile uses.
Just like high quality PPF is reversible on paint, it’s the same on lights. Simply remove it with heat and a careful technique.
Clear vs Tinted PPF
Clear gloss PPF doesn’t affect light output or clarity.
DIY Wrap Club DIY PPF kits for the light bar and headlights provide an edge-to-edge fitment, meaning it doesn’t roll over the edges. This gives it a longer lifespan, ensuring the film doesn’t pull back from the edges. And since it’s nearly invisible, the edge lines won’t be noticeable.
We also offer tinted headlight and light bar PPF kits that have a 45% VLT (Visible Light Transmission). This smoked PPF adds a bold, premium look while shielding your headlights from chips and wear. Designed for those who want to stand out — just be sure to check local laws for tinted film use on lights.
We also have customers that just want to tint the light bar since that is only a daytime running light, and they keep the headlights clear. Even though the tinted headlights aren’t affected drastically by light output, it still gives peace of mind.
Whichever way you choose, DIY Wrap Club has a step by step guide that will walk you through a quick 10 minute install. This film is the same high quality film we use in our kits: Avery Dennison Supreme Defense. It’s rated for 7-10 years. PPF protects against rock chips, scratches, and UV oxidation. And it has self healing technology. It only has to protect it one time to save you thousands. Let me explain.
Save Thousands with PPF
One rock chip flies the wrong way, and you end up having to replace the light. The side of the light bar is connected to the headlight below it, and one side is about $1,500 just for the parts. The middle light bar is much easier to replace but is about $250.
Bottom line: PPF is preventative care and gives you peace of mind. DIY PPF kits are affordable and effective. So, why not start protecting you ride today? Plus, if you get our full, partial, or front kits for Model Y Juniper, they come with the lights protection included so you get full coverage.
