    Headlight Skins?

    So what does everyone here do for headlight protection? I would like to find a set of headlight skins (clear vinyl/plastic) to put over the headlights as those hard plastic ones look horrid.

    Any directions or suggestions would be good!

    You know, I used to use them in the 80s but since they became virtually bulletproof there is no point anymore. I know some friends who worked at Mazda hq used to joke about people who bought their headlight protectors as they are redundant. Not needed any more really!

      I've got headlamp protectors on mine, simply because they came with the car as a freebie. They also make no difference to the car's aesthetics either.

          The polycarbonate headlights might be a lot harder to break than the old glass ones, but they still get sandblasted by all the grit coming off the road, hence headlight protectors are still a good way to keep the lights looking new.
