I believe this is it.What 2k clear are you speaking of? I ask due to a search reveals multiple products under that name.

Thanks for pics . Your FIT looks to be in very good condition and put care into it . Hopefully the bubble w/ moisture fades away . Keep us updated .Here's a couple shots with the Headlight Armor clear film. It's been more than a week now and the handful of bubbles remaining in it are now mostly gone. The material "breathes", so the moisture trapped in the bubbles gradually evaporates and then the bubbles shrink and go away (the film is applied by first misting the surface with water, just like window tint). They're now almost totally gone but the second photo shows the last remaining "larger" bubbles but even those have been slowly shrinking so I am sure they will go away entirely. Right now these three are about 1/4" x 3/8" in size. Anyway, I hope this stuff protects the lenses from yellowing because these lenses really were perfect when I bought the car. (note there are also a few drops of rain starting to fall when I took the pics)
Thanks, yeah, this Fit really was the "pick of the litter". Almost too nice for the kind of use I'll be giving it! Driving it all winter, racking up crazy miles, etc, hauling parts home from the junkyard, etc.... Apparently the old lady who owned it previously rarely drove it.Thanks for pics .

A few weeks have passed and even these largest bubbles are now nearly invisible. The clear film installation turned out real nice!Here's a couple shots with the Headlight Armor clear film.

They go bad after so much time regardless if parked inside or outside. We got a 2009 car that has been garage kept and washed and waxed at least 3-4 a month and the car looks like new (except) for those darn cheap light covers. These things are really just a big plastic cover they designed to hold the tiny new types of lights. I hear that light "cover" if one decides to replace with an OEM one is outrageous prices if you can even get one. Like over $900 at least.at a certain point no amount of cleaning will keep those poly lites clear for any amount of time. I've read that the crystaline structure inside the polycarbonate begins to cloud up and no amount of polish will help and eventually you need new lenses.. That has been my experience, can clean em up but eventually they lenses are garbage.
The kicker is, Some manufacturers enjoy making all the $$$ they can on OEM parts down the road after original sales.you would think long lasting headlight "covers" could be made ""IF they really wanted to"" like many things it makes $$$ + manufacturers could care less IMO
Did these a few nights ago . Took around 20 minutes . Makes a difference for night w/ better white light that helps distinguish objects on and off the roadside . Using SYLVANIA XTRAVISION w/ clear glass headlight bulbs .
