    Default Veil directly on "old school" glass headlamps

    I searched this form and didn't find a concrete answer.

    Can Veil be applied directly to glass headlamps? The "old school" type, 5 3/4" round sealed beams. They get extremely hot.

    Concrete answer.

    No problem at all. In fact, Veil coats especially well on such systems.

    My current C4 Vette has such lighting systems and its perfect.

    Years ago, my Honda Prelude (now retired) also handled Veil perfectly.

    If you're looking at putting them on the Bradley headlights, you're in luck because they bulbs are covered. On normal cars, the headlights end up with a coat of car wash wax and road grime -- not to mention skin oil -- that will hinder Veil from sticking well. I'd still be sure to prep the bulbs well for best results before applying the Veil.

    Do the bulbs or the covers?

    I'm a tad bit worried about running a jammer, but I guess that car is like a mirror?

    I wouldn't do either one until you get your jammer set-up tested and find out that you need it.
