They look cool but that's about it. Nice work though.

Gives me a good idea for a cover for my sub though.
i'm sure they block less light than that stupid "angry eye" headlight fad.

I don't doubt it, but both will/can fail an inspection here or get you ticketed. The cop or inspector would have to be a real dick to fail or ticket you over it, but then plenty of both are.

I know it sounds stupid. I figured they'd bend. I'm more prone to smashing the lights into a tree than I am breaking/chipping the glass with rocks, so I didn't quite see the point of these.

I think they would be great for protection against incoming snow and ice from a snow plow truck on the opposite side of the road... Man i wish i had these that winter

I've looked at using pecan to protect my led light bar. Probably a great way to shield debris

I think this thing will be perfect for what you designed it for!

People are whining saying it won't do anything, not sure why this site has so much negativity. I know we're all entitled to opinions but sometimes you should just keep it to yourself or at least word it better. I mean this guy came up with this on his own to solve a problem he had, then people who didn't put the effort forth come in to bash it and say it won't do anything? A-holes. It may be light aluminum tubing but it will deflect rocks and at least slow down the impact, most likely saving the housing, which was the goal. I think this is awesome, especially with the obsession over "built not bought". This is that on a small scale! Awesome job OP, definitely stealing this idea.
