Joel, The covers used to be available from VW of Australia. That version was a bolt on affair. Bus Depot used to sell a version which had curved tabs to allow them be easily removed. Probably for areas in the country where the local constable is playing close attention to your lights.:-) Last I checked, it's still illegal to place any sort of cover on your headlights on a US highway. I've implored The Skylight Guy (TSG) to start making them again. I have a set of the VW and BD headlight guards. Ron at Bus Depot supposedly sent samples of both to Trevor (TSG) for reproduction. I'd check with them, if you really want one. They work very well in protecting my expen$$ive e-codes. Re: the GW film protectors, they work fine for smaller rocks and stones. Had them on my 911 & 928 e-code headlights. I feel the Lexan covers affords better protection against larger projectiles because they have more space to deform before making contact with the glass lens when impacted.
