How pi55ed off am I.... A couple of months ago I smashed a headlight on my UK300 and posted that it cost £300 to replace, whinged a bit etc.
This morning on the M1 I smashed another one! Grrrrrr Thats £600 in headlights in about 2.5 months! What is it with these, are they made from 0.1mm thick glass or something?
Does anyone know of any protectors I could put over the top to stop this happening that don't look crappy?

What a nightmare!
That's why I'm not fitting morettes or prodrive lights.
All new cars now have polycarbonate covers and i can see why.
The fogs are also vulnerable. I think covers are a must.

Yeah it was the whole unit, I have the one they took off at home and all the lenses look sealed into the cluster to me? When I asked they said they couldn't get them seperately 
Just to complete my week I hit a duck at cough mph this morning on the same side, bumper/foglight... Joy
