i think iv seen clear or yellow tint ones that are road legal but the headlights plastic anyway so not sure whether its worth it?

looks cheap tbh. stick without 'em and save ya money.

I remember seeing a while back some headlight protectors that were made of a fine mesh and coloured.

During the day, with lights off, they look solid. With the light on, the proximity to the light means that the light output isn't effected so they just look and work like normal headlights.

For a good comparison, have a look at the front of your microwave, light on/light off. Similar principle (but I know thats not what the mesh is there for before someone else says)

if done well they can look cool, i saw a zx10 last summer, black wth black covers, made it look like a full race bike when he was riding it.

go for it if you like them. scott

i had some for mine and gave them away as they were crap. Mine were black tint and I IMHO they just make you LESS visible.
