I had the state of nine protectors on my xenons for about three years. During that time they have yellowed and hazed considerably. I took a hair dryer and carefully peeled them off. I gotta say they came off nicely, I cleaned the polycarbonate light "capsules" and am now running without them.
I would also like to add that the addition of these shields, probably when in use for a while, does alter the beam and scatter. I got tired of the haze and hot spots in the beam scatter and this was a principle reason for me taking them off.
Sorry, I can't recommend.
I do have them on my logs though, with yellow Hella fog bulbs, and they're fine down there. No issues with adhesion and lenses are still whole.
