Headlight covers or no.

What do you guys think yes or no on the headlight covers.

Hard to tell in the pics. I like the way they look, but how are they attached? I always am iffy about headlamp covers due to the GTO covers that are mounted with double face material and leave a huge gap.


Side note, theres one of them running around my area that has LED Pods retrofitted in place of the lights. Looks pretty cool.

Yea those leds are pretty sweet. What colour is the car the leds on?
The covers are held on with weird little clips. They should be pretty sturdy.

They look good from a distance.I had them on my camaro and liked the way they looked but at night could not see anything even with the brights on. I would stay away from them.

I like the look with them on. I wouldn't try driving at night with them for obvious reasons.

This. But watch the clips, I've lost several covers that way. I made mine screw-in now and just painted the self-tappers black.

I've never tried driving with them on at night because my lights suck enough as is. That's the whole point of removable covers

Definitely a fan of the look with them on, but I also appreciate a clean pair of OEM headlights.

I had a pair back in the day, but just got tired of taking them on and off.
