Default Headlight lens protector

Hi All,
My 2000 XKR has thick plastic covers over the headlights.
This is to protect from rocks and other damage.
I have recently noticed that it is starting to peel off on one side.

I have searched this board and the internet to no avail.

Does anyone know where I can get some replacements.
They have done a great job of protecting the lenses up to now.

Thanks,
John

A Google search for "headlight film XK8" should do it for you, first hit I got was https://www.lamin-x.com/jaguar-xk8-x...ht-covers.html

Another option: https://www.headlightarmor.com/97-06...hing-kits.aspx

these are the ones I just bought a few days ago:

The website says "no longer available" . That seems odd since I just bought them a week or so ago, so I'd call them to verify. I haven't installed them yet, waiting for the weather to warm up first.

its 3m clear bra material, thinner for paint, thicker for headlights. Another thing on the plastic headlight not the XK. This also keeps the plastic headlight from yellowing and getting foggy.
