    Yep and since our UV rays here at altitude (Colorado) are off-the-charts, I spray all of our headlamps with a coating of Mequiars' Headlight Coating. Supposed to give one-year protection from UV rays. (Seems to be working on our newer cars but my 2014 Tundra was, probably, too far gone...just had to buy new headlamps since they were too yellow and faded...had already restored them once.)

    I picked up some CarPro DLight this spring, but I've been too lazy to properly prep my headlights to apply it. On the plus side, My car is parked with the headlights out of direct sunlight about 98% of the time, so the delay shouldn't be a big deal.

    DLight is supposed to be developed to specifically bond to plastics and protect them from UV for up to 3 years. I think it only came out early this year or the very end of last year. It was mostly developed to protect PPF coatings and keep them from yellowing, but it also works on headlights and other plastics. Stupid expensive at $35 for 10mL, but it's not like you need much. If you're only doing headlights, 10mL would probably do all the cars a family owns. For a full car PPF coating, you'd probably need the 30mL bottle for $90.

    Lexus had the turning headlights years ago. My Subaru has them; car does a cross-eyed calibration when turned on.
    Those are legal CYA terms for people in the second paragraph. Note that Toyota is saying it is capable of auto braking after them, which is far more than your claim in post #2. Better sensors and computers means TSS 3 will do this better than TSS 2.

    Any measurement of how this affects light transmittance?
