• take heavy duty aluminium foil and mold it flat against the headlight
• trace the perimeter of the headlight with a permanent marker onto the foil
• use foil as a template to transfer headlight shape onto the plexiglass
• cut the plexiglass out using a jigsaw with a 'metal' cutting blade (fine teeth)
• lightly sand edges
• (now is a good time to make copies of your template for future use in case one gets damaged by a stone)
• heat oven up to 180 deg celcius
• put cut out plexiglass on a non-stick baking sheet and heat for about 5mins
• take it out using oven gloves - glass it now flexible
• run to your bike and press it up hard against your headight (first mask headlight with heavy duty aluminum foil)
• hold in place for about a minute
• drop into a bucket of cold water
• the plexiglass covers are fixed to the headlights with double sided pvc clear 'hook and claw' tape blocks
• can be removed and cleaned when washing the bike

Sure - They are headlight protectors - I made them from 3mm thick plexi-glass. The running light is clear and the brights are amber (orange). I drive with my brights on permanently - makes you way more visible to cars on the highway - the orange colour draws drivers attention most of the time. They have saved my headlights from stone chips twice.

Process of making them:

• take heavy duty aluminium foil and mold it flat against the headlight
• trace the perimeter of the headlight with a permanent marker onto the foil
• use foil as a template to transfer headlight shape onto the plexiglass
• cut the plexiglass out using a jigsaw with a 'metal' cutting blade (fine teeth)
• lightly sand edges
• (now is a good time to make copies of your template for future use in case one gets damaged by a stone)
• heat oven up to 180 deg celcius
• put cut out plexiglass on a non-stick baking sheet and heat for about 5mins
• take it out using oven gloves - glass it now flexible
• run to your bike and press it up hard against your headight (first mask headlight with heavy duty aluminum foil)
• hold in place for about a minute
• drop into a bucket of cold water
• the plexiglass covers are fixed to the headlights with double sided pvc clear 'hook and claw' tape blocks

PS - Powerbronze makes these off the shelf but they are pricey and weren't available locally so made my own
