    I've had various headlights smash on works cars so have always fitted protectors to my own

    I think they are akin to snake oil. if something big enough to break the headlamp is heading its way, a bit of thin perspex isnt going to stop it.

    may have been of use in the olden days when headlamp lenses were glass.

    The headlight protectors are pretty thick about 3mm and would easily protect it against a stone and even something bigger that and its alot easier to get the dead bugs of of them as you can remove them.
