LC80 - perspex headlight covers for an 80?

[Bmonck]

All
I want to protect the headlights from stones thrown up on dirt roads.
Anyone know of good quality perspex covers to put over the glass of the headlights on an 80?
and where to buy them?
And then what is the best way to attach them.....
thanks

Have you tried using 3M Scotch Auto Trans Duct Tape. I use it on for my zombie lights...

All the plastic ones I have seen, just clip on over the light unit. There's no screws or anything. I had some genuine Toyota ones. I'd just trawl E bay for some. Maybe someone like Direct4x4

Well looky here...

Toyota supplied them as an optional extra back in the day. They are made to just clip on over the headlight. There are other makes been around very similar.
There doesn't seem to be any about but I bet if you search around the Aussie 4x4 sights there will be some.

I have also been looking for these covers. It’s worth checking if there is a slot for your headlight washer.

I know people have tried to cut a slot in the Oz / African spec covers but this normally leads to cracked covers.

The other option is to remove the spray nozzle.

Don't cut - sand.

Aha good tip. I have ordered them via a friend who is there for Xmas.
I will adjust/sand if needed.
Thanks gents
