The cops around here would love that. I thought the whole idea was to be seen.

Duff, if you're on a track with rocks... I wouldn't ride that track anymore.

The package would clearly state "FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY" ... they always do. That the only way the manufacturer can sell items like that legally. Then it's up to the police to sort it out.

[lucky6man]

yea and you would have twice as many cars pulling out in front of you when they cant see your day time lights on

[WildKat]

cosmetically cool, yes !!! safe, nope !

[escahoe]

I had that on my truck and had trouible seeing with the brights. However I can gurantee that we will start seeing these on the roads on bikes that aren't built and riden based on safety

Lockhart-Phillips markets it for track-use as extra protection. It really isn't intended for street use (but then again, the human head isn't intended for riding at 70 mph without a helmet either -- how many squids do it anyway?).

u wont ride on a track with rocks...wuss

[SweetLou]

I remember having those on my car back in the day, but you needed them off at night to really see. I rather stick with my angel eyes headlights.

[duff daddy]

noo junior im tlaking bout the track has little pebbles at the start line so when people are doing burnouts i dont wanna get naild with one and crack my head light. we useually go after the tubbed out pro streets back home

[BraadaJim]

If you are going to do a track day I am pretty sure that you have to tape or otherwise cover any exposed glass. I've actually given thought a couple of times to making a similar cover (solid, not tinted) for people doing track days.......headlights are expensive!

Given the age/model this fits though and the fact that it is tinted. It was put out there as a style thing in the day and "track use" was purely to avoid legalities.

[WildKat]

I had similar covers on my geo storm back in the day. They were definately sweet looking, but I did have to use high beams all the time to get any real use out of the headlights.

[duff daddy]

no if you are drag racing you dont have to tape up any of your glass, at least thats how it is at the 2 tracks ive dragged at

Things that look cool aren't always functional or safe
