Anyone with headlight covers...?

Post by Bryony84 »

Where did you get them from and would you recommend them. Thinking I should be protecting my xenons as they cost a lot to replace!

I think they're well worth it. Cheaper to replace the cover rather than the xenon. Can't hardly notice them either

Yeah they're pretty good. I sold them after getting fed up of having condensation behind them every time I washed the car and then having to remove them, clean them, and put them back on again every time. :roll:

That is often the problem with the VW ones.

I had some on my bora which were made by Armourfend and they were fantastic. They stuck on directly to the lense. They were thick enough to protect the lenses, yet didn't distort any light output and were near invisible without closer inspection.

I got a new set from ebay for less than £15 delivered. A good way to help prevent condensation is to use Rain X. :wink:
