Headlamp Protectors

[dk73 1]

Hi people.

Just got these off the old flee bay and im very pleased with them.

 

Any idea what the two thin blue lines are for or can i take them off?

 

They're on there for a reason I think to do with headlamp glare?

I dont know so if any one can enlighten me with comments or views.

 

Pics below.

 

Regards Dave.

No pal, there painted on the inside, i can get them off with preptone and it will not damage the plastic.

agree the pug ones have the pug lion on

probably a styling thing as opposed to a glare thing, as they'll do nothing that low down to prevent blinding oncoming traffic! Are they just clear units if so I'd take them off personally

It is obvious really when you come to think about it. They make the light travel faster from your bulbs to the road.

A sort of go faster stripe you mean!

 

I have pug ones on mine, no marks other than the lion. Certainly save the headlamp from possible stone chip damage.

Lol, what year did you buy them?, these are old school, regards to them being pug ones,ive the full old instructions.

whatever make they are at least they do the job

I got mine off here a few months back, and my car is used mainly on track but they weren't in the best of condition (as in not mint) when bought, but they do the job admirably

Just an eighties thing then? Everything had stripes on in the eighties.

 

Is there a date on the instructions at all?

There are a couple of types of Pug ones, some with two thin black stripes and some without. You can even get some with a Mardi Gras sticker on them.

 

I have a couple of sets but not a matching pair

 

It is now probably cheaper to buy a new light unit than replace a headlight! I did have a couple of sets of new ones but got offered decent money (and I was buying some other wheels at the time) for them so they went.

 

There are some aftermarket ones out there and I think these may be some. I have seen sets with stripes all the way up the lense before

Just become the proud owner of these beauties.

 

Following on from your intial enquiry, what do you think to the stripes? They are thin and black and have an EGR plastics logo in the middle. Ideally I would like to remove all this so they are clear.

 

What would be the best stuff to get the paint off without scratching the plastic?

 

[dk73 1]

Where you had them from? besides to removing the paint i tried autosmarts preptone.

 

Id done one and it took me an hour.

 

Half way doing the last one i put a bit to much pressure in one of the weak spots on the cover and complety cracked it.

 

So just watch what you do.

They were had off eBay but (as marked on them) they are from/made in Australia. As stated before they have a few thin stripes, the EGR logo as can be seen and on the end in front of the indicator there is a 205 logo. They are thick too (3mm) and seem very well made, but if it's not an easy job I may just leave them, at least I would like to get rid of the EGR logo.

The genuine ones I got from the dealers 12 months ago are from Australia too - seems a strage place to make them?
