I had no issues with the 3m kit not removing the uv layer on my X5 housings. The kit worked like a charm, did what it was suppose to; made my lights look like new. The 500 grit pads that come with the kit have no trouble chewing through the protective layer and then some.
To the OP, a 3m kit will work just fine to get those headlamps looking like new.
