You can buy Stongard type material and cut it per your own templates. I
bought such a kit when I last so equipped my Euro headlight lenses and Euro
fogs on the trusty ol' Type 44. I found the stuff at my local import auto
parts store. More recently, I've had great luck with a model-specific kit
from X-Pel. It was a challenging fit to a compound, super-curvy lens on a
modern, sculpted lens type car, but it went well. Good instructions.
