    Headlight protection

    Around thirty years ago I put a pair of these on my car to protect the headlights from sandblasting, stones, etc. when on the track. They were inexpensive, worked well and I liked the look. They fit the 7" round lights and are held in place by the same internal chrome ring that secures the lights. They are some type of clear plastic but have yellowed and have been cracked by stones thrown up at the track. They did their job and the headlights are like new. I would like to replace them but can't seem to find them anywhere. If anyone knows where I can find a pair, please let me know.

    Thanks, John
