I've had a set of the original (I guess...) protectors in front of my hen's teeth H4 rectangular headlights for many years now. The H4s are magic!

Recently, there was an odd shard of plastic laying in my driveway in front of the van. I picked it up, and there was something oddly familiar with it.

OMG!! It was part of the right-side headlight protector, finally separated from the main body after having taken a huge hit from some road debris! That protector earned it's keep a billion times over. Are those H4 rectangular even available anymore

Now I need to replace it, but I might have another from the first set I bought. I lost one at Syncro De Mayo eons ago, before I learned to use small tie-wraps to firmly keep them attached. I have no idea if the ones Ken is selling need them, though. If I can't find the other, I shall be placing an order soon!

Glad you have them now.

OK, some of you may remember that we used to sell these back in the day for around $100 a pair. They were made by a Canadian company that seemed to make a couple of pairs whenever the mode struck them and then sell them for mad money. About six or seven years ago they stopped, I called them to see if I could get them to make a run for me specifically and they told me they had thrown away the tooling and didn't care about making any more ever.

I had a set on my 90 Carat and through the magic of reverse engineering, I got them reproduced and now I have them for sale for $59 a set. They are just as good if not better than the ones people were begging to buy from me at $125 (yup that is what I was selling them for, when they got ultra hard to get). Here is a video explaining why I love them and think they are the best headlight protectors ever! Sorry they are for square headlight grilles only.
