In my former 4-wheeling life, almost everyone I knew used covers like this:

(I know, this one is round.  They make square too)

Cheap, effective, easy & non-obtrusive.
However, I can't for the life of me find a current vendor online that sells
them in anythign other than stainless (for $40+).  Closest has been this,

Which is similar, but not quite it (but in the right price range).

Subject: Re: Headlight Crack Protection

Happy Friday to all,

2 weeks ago I had a rock or object crack my front right small headlight
glass. This got me thinking about ways to protect it. I know they make Lexan
covers but I figured that for the same $50 dollars I could just go to the
plastic store and pickup some thick clear acrylic sheets, cut it to size to
cover both the low and high beam glass.

I am not sure how to adhere it to the glass, I guess I can figure someway to
adhere it to the body grill. Maybe Clear Silicon, or a possibly 2 mounting
screws. I am open to ideas. I just can�t see purchasing those lexan covers
when I can make it myself. Anyone see any draw backs to this idea?

Anyone know how those Lexan Lens covers adhere to the Glass?

Thanks,

Robert
