Will this Lens Protection Kit fit my late-model Vanagon with rectangular headlights?

Yes! This kit is specifically designed for all 1986-1991 Vanagons with factory rectangular (square) headlights. The four included pre-cut pieces are made to fit perfectly over your inner and outer headlamps. Many customers with European headlight upgrades have also found the kit fits those models well, but it's always best to double-check your headlight shape before ordering.

How easy is the installation? Can I do it myself, or should I get a pro?

Most Vanagon owners find installing this lens protection kit a straightforward DIY project. Each piece is pre-cut and self-adhesive, so you just clean your headlamps, position the film, and press it on. For best results, do the install in a dust-free environment and use a squeegee to smooth out bubbles. If you're aiming for a factory-perfect look, you can absolutely opt for professional installation—but most customers tackle this themselves and are happy with the outcome.

What is the protective material, and how durable is it over time?

The lens protection film is made from a premium 12mil clear urethane that's UV-stable and high-gloss, rated for 5 years of outdoor exposure. It's tough enough to deflect rocks, sand, and road debris without yellowing or cracking. Real-world feedback shows it stays clear and invisible, preserving your Vanagon's original look while saving your headlights from expensive chips or breakage.

Will the lens covers change the appearance of my Vanagon's headlights?

Not at all! One of the best features of this kit is its nearly invisible finish. The clear, high-gloss urethane film is designed to blend seamlessly with your headlight lenses, so you keep that classic late-Vanagon style without visible protection. Most owners report you have to look up close to even notice the covers are on.

Is this kit compatible with aftermarket or European-style Vanagon headlights?

This kit is pre-cut for the standard late Vanagon (86-91) square headlights, and it's known to fit many European-style headlight upgrades as well. If you have non-standard aftermarket headlights, compare their size and shape to the factory lenses to ensure proper fit. If your lights are similarly sized, chances are high the kit will work, but GoWesty's friendly team can help answer specific fitment questions if you reach out with details.
