headlight protectors

[yellowwing1]

There was talk earlier about protection for our head lights. I been in contact with a company that makes them for my GoldWing motorcycle, and many more applications. It is aircraft quality. He is looking into the possibilites and he will post here.(I think)

I think he will need at least 50 orders to process and manufacture. If you are interested I can pass your name on to Steve.

Just let me know. Joy

I be there. Be nice to get the auxillary parking light protected too. Even though those are cheap to replace.
Count me in.

I too, would like to be included in the headlight protectors. We have them on our TC and they have protected the lens for 12 years. Replacement costs for that car is outragious !

[HeelBird]

Sounds interesting, but I wanna see what it looks like before committing.

[PrdyBrd]

I am interested also...

I'm completely with Hobobob on this one. I have two TC's and have headlight protectors on both of them as well as the front park/turn lenses. The headlights were near $500 when they were available new, but are now in the $2K range used. The park/turn lenses were $100 when available new and I don't know where they are now. Both have been discontinued by Chrysler.
If the covers this thread is talking about are the same 3M material as what we have on the TC's it is great protection. Hobobob and I have been using this product for 8-10 years with no complaints.

I'm not sure what they will look like but I will take some pics of my motorcyle with them on.

I can provide headlight and foglight protection. The material is 40 mil thick (1 mm). It is custom cut for the headlights and foglights. It does not affect the light quality. It has a $ 1,000 headlight replacement guarantee. It can withstand a one inch rock at 120 mph. It is easy to install. If interested, contact me.

Me too - what's the cost?

[yellowwing1]

He gave me a guestamate or around 45-55$ .
I guess he hasn't posted here yet.

We still need a car in the LA area for measurements and all. (could be a free set for this person, if you like them)

[ceebaileys]

Joy (Yellowing) has been asking us for quite a while to make our Headlight Protectors for the Thunderbird. To see what they look like for Motorcycles, you can go to www.ceebaileys.com/cycle (http://www.ceebaileys.com/cycle)

They are not like the 3M protectors, as those are just peel off stickers. Our guards are made out of acrylic and sit about 3/16" from the light itself so the guards take the impact, not the light. They are removable and are held on by a Dual Lock system that is referred to as "velcro on steroids". I have a guard on my BMW headlight and I have been over 120 MPH and it's still on.

For us to make them we need someone in LA area to arrange with us to bring a car here for us to take dimensions and form a pattern off the headlight itself. It would only take one hour. Second choice may be to send us a headlight.

Feel free to contact us if you are able to assist.
