Should be i would have thought, better get the tape measure out and get measuring!

To do just my headlights i used a 12" x 12" sheet.

this is legal in UK??? even in my third world policed country this is illegal!!

sorry to say but this looks to me like the normal window tint film, available here at least for pence for metres and when fitted on your lights it switftly melts the first time you are stuck in traffic with the lights on.

Probably not, just get away if its not blatantly reducing visibility. Heard of people passing MOTs with these fitted.

I used proper headlight film made by 3M which is thick and the same stuff as used in motorsport and is also designed to protect the lense, will be using the clear on my smoked hellas.
