Light Protection Film in Everett, WA
Blue Star Auto Salon is a STEK USA Black Label installer in Everett, Washington, offering STEK Light Protection Film (LPF) for headlights, taillights, fog lights, and turn signals on vehicles across Snohomish County. Light Protection Film is a paint protection film (PPF) application built specifically for automotive lighting. It shields your lenses from road damage while giving them a custom tinted finish, both in a single film.
What Is Light Protection Film?
Light Protection Film is a true PPF, a TPU-based film applied over your headlights, taillights, fog lights, and turn signals. It carries STEK’s DYNO top-coat technology, so it protects your lenses from the daily hazards that wreck factory lighting: rock chips and cracks, acid etching from insects and bird droppings, fading from pollution and UV, and hazing from surface scratches. At the same time, it tints your lights in the tone you choose, which means a custom look without painting or baking your housings. Modern headlights are more expensive to replace than ever, and LPF protects that investment while making the car your own.
Why We Install STEK LPF
We install STEK’s DYNOseries light films because they protect and they look right. Each film is 8 mil of durable TPU-based protection: hydrophobic, stain resistant, and self-healing, so light scratches vanish with heat from the sun or warm water. STEK offers a real range of tones rather than a single smoke, so we can match the exact darkness and color you want, from a barely-there gray to a blacked-out stealth finish. Whether it is a daily driver, an exotic, a truck, a UTV, or a motorcycle, the film is cut and installed for clean edges and full lens coverage.
Choose Your Tone and Finish
DYNOstorm. Our lightest option at 50% transmittance. A neutral gray with an extremely glossy finish that tones down chrome housings with a subtle, sleek look.DYNOshade. 45% transmittance with a slight blue/purple hue. A subtle shaded look that protects both the lens and the housing.DYNOshadow. 34% transmittance in a charcoal tone. A sleek, mature medium darkness for drivers who want more than DYNOshade but not full smoke.DYNOsmoke. 30% transmittance, the darkest option, for a stealthy blacked-out look on headlights, taillights, and turn signals.FORCESHIELDamber. An 85% transmittance bright yellow film that brings back the European headlight look. A standout on Euro builds, off-road trucks, rally-inspired cars, LED light bars, and JDM projects.

Light Protection Film FAQ
Does light protection film protect my lights or just tint them?
Both. It is a true paint protection film, so it guards your headlights and taillights against rock chips, cracks, scratches, oxidation, and staining, while the tone you choose gives them a custom finish at the same time.
Will tinting my headlights make them too dark to see at night?
That depends on the tone. Lighter options like DYNOstorm and DYNOshade keep more light output and are the usual choice for daily driving, while darker tones like DYNOsmoke are popular for show cars and off-road builds. We will walk you through which tone fits how you actually use the vehicle.
Is tinted headlight film legal in Washington?
Lighting laws regulate how much light your headlights emit and the color your lights show, so darker and colored films may not be street legal and are often chosen for show or off-road use. We are happy to talk through street-friendly options before you commit. Confirm current Washington requirements for your specific vehicle, since rules can change.
Can my taillights be tinted too?
Yes. The DYNOseries tones work on taillights and turn signals as well as headlights and fog lights.
Will the film damage my headlights?
No. The film is designed to protect the lens underneath and to be removed cleanly, which helps preserve your original lighting and your resale value.
What is the difference between the tones?
They range from light to dark by transmittance: DYNOstorm is the lightest gray at 50%, DYNOshade sits at 45% with a blue/purple hue, DYNOshadow is a 34% charcoal, and DYNOsmoke is the darkest at 30%. FORCESHIELDamber is a separate bright yellow Euro-style film at 85%.
How long does Light Protection Film last?
The DYNOseries tones carry a 7-year warranty, and FORCESHIELDamber carries a 5-year warranty, so it is a long-term upgrade, not a temporary one.
