I installed a set of the Lexan covers to protect my expen$ive e-code
rectangulars from damage.
Lost one of them in the "car pool" at Syncro de Mayo, or maybe in one of
the mudbaths we tried.
Fortunately, I found another pair used, good as new really. I will
wemi-permanently attach them to my grill when I get time. I want to find
a way to make sure they cannot fall off, yet are somewhat easily
removed.
Might possibly deter theives, if any ever want those lights.

There is a difference, though. What GoWesty sells for $40 is a set of
transparent "stickers" that actually stick onto your headlights
permanently. Once they're on, they're on. (And if you press them on a
little cockeyed or with a wrinkle, that's how they'll stay.) What we
sell for $35 is a pair of separate clear lexan covers that clip to your
grill. This is much like modern cars have, where the headlights sit back
under a protective cover rather than being "naked." The covers sit even
with the grill surface, which looks very sharp, while also protecting
the headlights. Some people buy them just for the cosmetic improvement.
They do not require any screws or modification to the van, so you can
remove them anytime by simply unclipping them.
