Headlight Protectors

Headlight Protectors & Covers

Rocks and bugs can do serious damage while you drive on highways or unsealed roads. Even small bits of debris can chip or crack the lens. Over time this leads to fogging and dull lights. If you want to keep your headlights in good shape a headlight cover is a simple fix. It adds a solid barrier that helps prevent damage so you can experience clear lights and avoid costly repairs.

At Outback Equipment we stock Protective Plastics headlight protectors. They are designed to suit a wide range of 4WDs and utes with specific covers for Ford Mazda Toyota Holden and more. Each one is made from clear acrylic so your lights stay bright and legal for use on the road. They are easy to fit and made in Australia to handle harsh weather and rough tracks.

What to Look for When Choosing Headlight Covers

When choosing headlight covers the most important thing is getting the right fit for your vehicle. Each car has a different shape and size for its headlights. A cover made for your exact make and model will sit tight with no gaps. This helps stop dust and water from getting in and prevents the cover from shifting while you drive.

You also want to choose a strong material that can handle rough roads. Clear acrylic is a top choice because it is tough enough to take hits from rocks and debris. It also keeps your lights looking sharp without blocking the beam. Steer clear of dark or tinted covers as these can reduce how well your headlights work. In some cases they may even be illegal if they block too much light. Stick with clear covers that are made to protect without changing how your headlights perform.

Frequently asked Questions about Headlight Protectors

Why are headlight protectors worth it?

A headlight protector stops damage before it starts. It saves your headlights from chips, cracks and long-term fogging caused by small impacts. If you do a lot of highway or off-road driving, they’re a simple way to avoid costly repairs. They're also cheaper than replacing a whole headlight unit.

How do I clean headlight protectors?

Rinse off dust and debris with clean water first. Then use mild car soap and a soft cloth to wipe them clean. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Once dry, check that the protectors are still sitting flush with your headlights.

Are headlight protectors legal in Australia?

Yes, as long as they are clear and do not block more than 15% of the light beam. All the covers sold at Outback Equipment meet Australian standards. Avoid dark tinted covers, which can reduce visibility and may not be road legal.

Will headlight protectors affect my lights at night?

No. Clear acrylic covers do not block or change the colour of your light beam. They’re made to fit snugly over the lens without reducing visibility. Your headlights will still perform as normal, even in poor weather or at night.
