Mazda headlight protector installation question

[dgrev]

Hello all.
Can the genuine Mazda headlight protectors be easily fitted without removing anything eg. bumper?
Are tools required?
Thanks
Doug

I haven't heard of headlight protectors, but I've read clear PPF works well.

Mazda Australia shows headlight protectors on their website as "genuine accessories".

You don't have to remove the bumper.

 

[dgrev]

Thanks, how are they held on?

 

[ɛ̃fini]

From what I remember there are metal brackets that slide between the headlight and hood.

 

[dgrev]

Ok thanks.

PPF applied here asap...

I assume PPF means polypropelyene film?
In the Oz Outback, with the number of stones trucks throw at you, I prefer to have a shield in front of the headlights than risk a broken US$1,200 headlight. No idea what Mazda Oz charges for a new one.

PPF = Paint Protection Film

In the Oz Outback...

Probably will want to look at the bonnet protector too then.

 

[dgrev]

I agree. Much better than gravel chips in the paint.

Here's how to install the headlight shields. It's in Japanese, but you get the gist.

Excellent, most appreciated. How the heck did you find that? I tried all sorts of search terms on Youtube but being that the video is all in Japanese it never showed up.
