Just asking. Not trying to divert the thread.
Seems to me the most simple thing to do is to simply put covers over the lights like the picture in the original post.

It's a "bra" for the hood. Stops bugs and road dirt from chipping the paint. The loops are just there to pull it up tight while you're installing it. It's not installed on my car, nor will it ever be. I think those things are retarded, and I've seen what they do to paint.
That's probably what I'm gonna do, but nobody makes pre-formed clear covers that I know of, so I'm gonna weld/screw some flanges to the inside of the headlight area and screw covers to it, leaving the heads of the screws exposed.
And by "weld", I probably mean epoxy.
It'll end up looking like the aero pack on the older Dodge Daytona, smoothed out like this:
The difference is that those headlights are pop-up, mine will just be behind the lexan like so:
So that you'll have to remove the lexan covers to adjust/replace the headlights (until I get the non-sealed conversion).
