   No laquer needed mate as the lens will protect it

   as tingaling said, no laquer needed... just make sure you reseal them properly, one thing i didnt do when i smoked mine ha

   Also lacquering them would loose some of the matt effect

   I custom-made 2 sets 1 with gloss 1 matte effect and the matt without lacquer results were much much better. The finish was noticeable.
   
   If you mess up i've got a spare set of lights you can have aswell
   
   Good luck, post up the results
