New Light Shields Prevent Headlight Breakage Broken headlights are a common problem. Studies have shown that 1 out of 6 vehicles will require headlight replacement due to damage from road debris. On high-end vehicles, the cost can be as much as $1,800. New X-Pel Clear Protective Light Shields, made by San Antonio, TX-based Reflex Enterprises, prevent breaking, cracking and pitting of headlights, fog lights and turn signal lights. Do-it-yourself kits to fit most domestic and foreign cars and truck from 1988 to 2000 models are available. The shields are precision die-cut for a perfect fit. Kits are backed by a $1,000 headlight replacement guarantee and a 4-year product warranty. They cost between $19.95 to $59.95. Tests have proven that the invisible shields will sustain impacts from stones up to 1-inch in diameter at speeds exceeding 120 mph with no damage. Shields are made of Department of Transportation approved scratch resistant material and do not change the appearance of the vehicle. The product is U.V. stabilized so as not to discolor and will not distort light.
