Allen, I see the curved single front lenses. Even if you drive with your headlights on 10% of the time they should be protected.
It looks like the coverage area for your headlight lenses might match the standard pre-cut C5 Corvette pieces in the C5 Corvette kit. Of course the DRLs / parking-turn signal lenses would fit.
The protective headlight film pieces I have on my stock lenses measure 4" H x 9-1/2" W (at the bottom) tapering up to 9" W (at the top) with appropriate small cutouts for standard headlight aligning equipment. Just about the whole headlight lense is protected. I don't know if you have those little nubs that stick out on your front lense. If you don't I'd call Griots and ask them if they have individual sheets available and the size of them.
As I've said before I've tried other manufacturer's protective film kits because they were a little cheaper but they did not adhere to the lenses appropriately. I'm sticking with the product that I'm familiar with (I never tried Mid-Am).
Short note: After observing that the top of the original DRL / turn signal lense housings were burned through on the top during routine bulb replacement I replaced both lense housings (they’re not cheap). That was not acceptable… so I pulled the #2 fuse under the hood which effectively disables the daytime running lights and never looked back. I’m all for driver safety so I still ride with my parking lights on during the day.
