Headlight covers + license plate removal = ?

[LittleBeast]

Last night I was cleaning the VX for a trip home to Waco to see my family and I decided to do a few of the VX mods I have sitting in the garage to do. I replaced the door seal on my passenger side, removed the front license plate and installed the plastic Isuzu piece, and then I installed the headlight covers that took forever to be delivered. I still need to do the rear brake light flasher, amp+sub, and the diff drop, maybe next weekend, haha.

Ok so I am not sure about the headlight covers.

Headlight cover Positives:
-look mean
-make the VX look even more like a snake
-blend well with the blacked out look of the VX
-protect the headlights from the abuse of the sun during the day
-protect the headlights from rocks and the like
-remove and install in about 5 seconds flat with no tools at all

Headlight cover Negatives:
-they are totally not street legal
-would never do night driving with them on (not safe, too dim)
-obstructs the reflective surface of our headlights (which ties into other chrome surfaces, like the tow hooks, fangs, wheels, muffler tip)
-makes the VX look almost too much like a snake, lol

So here are the photos, decide for yourself, for now I am only doing a little daytime driving with them on trying to decide what I think, I will definitely leave them on if I ever have to leave the VX parked outside for any length of time. Here are some various photos to show the different looks:

At first, I didn't like the headlight covers much. Now, after looking at them in the pictures they kinda grew on me. I'm not sure I would keep them on all the time, but a little different look every now and then is always good for a healthy marriage.
Peace.

My same comment. Do you drive at night with dark sunglasses on? Then why put them on your headlights

LOL, wow I can always count on LBud for a surprizing and original responce, haha, yeah that would be pretty funny looking.

Uh, yeah I would NEVER drive at night with these on, period. I stated that above the photos Good thing they snap on and off in a few seconds.

How do these headlight covers install? I got a set of CF ones, but the one page installation sheet was vague. They have tabs at the top and bottom and they just snap in?

I don't own a pair, but I'm sure it's just a snap on deal.

Where did you get that push bar DeerMagnet?

[Ldub]

Those that'll sell don't have 'em.

Indeed...

I don't have any, but would be glad to sell...

Well, on YOUR VX I think they look pretty bad-***. I actually like them on. Only if they are truly that easy to pop on and off though. I used to have them on my old pickup and would up taking them off because it was such a pain at night.

That is definitely one of the best looking beasties around. How much redneck mating call you get at speed with those tires? They look amazing, but I just can't imagine them being practical if you're driving mostly street.

good stuff.
