I know opinions are divided on these, but I do like them, and I welcome that added layer of security when driving in the dark in these conditions. So long as I fit more powerful bulbs to penetrate that extra layer too
Does anybody have a set of these I could buy? PM me if you do - and give me an idea on price, please.
I agree and like them mysel, daft thing is they normally fetch second hand more than you buy 2 new headlights for, the last pair on ebay fecthed pver £30!
I did have some Phil, one may be cracked slightly but still perfectly useable. I`ll check over the weekend and let you know. If you`ve not herad from me by Sunday afternoon drop me a pm and remind me please!
You used to be able to buy headlamp repair tape which was a clear thickish tape to be stuck over holes in headlamp glass to keep the water out - and might provide a slight cushion to stones.
Personally I would never have them - valuing every tiny bit of light I can get. My guess is you will loose 10% for every surface.
They`re perfectly good in use Jeremy as long as they are cleaned regulary which is very easy to do. I drive up two especially dark roads on the way/way back to work and never noticed any drop in brightness.

Just like BX sunroof non-seals.... perhaps a BX could be persuaded to grow a green-top like the garden centre I once visited in Walton-on-Thames which sported a grass roof.
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.
I wonder if you could make your own from acrylic sheet (perspex) which is readily available from DIY shops, cut to size and bent if necessary using a heat gun?
