Headlight shield (was RE: Euro high beams?)

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

the only problem I see is that my only pellet gun would be a 16 gauge with
rodent pellets.. and though the lens might last, I am afraid the rest of the
front end would end up full of holes...

(GRIN)

the other solution would be to use my 241 rifle, but even with a rodent
charge of 90, I think it would destroy the lens radiator and probably a few
more items behind it.

=>There's nothing you can do to protect them in all situations.  When
=>lady luck's against you, you will lose every time.  But, as Cathy

=>for Cathy's Beetle fogs says something about it.

=>I can't say if I was just lucky or if the headlight shield
=>contributed, but:
=>
=>1. Semi truck backs into drivers front of Scirocco, bending bumper,
=>breaking turnsignal, and breaking headlight adjustors - no damage to
=>headlight.
=>
=>2. Less than a week after fixing above, grocery cart rolls in to
=>passenger front of Scirocco, breaking turnsignal and breaking
=>headlight adjustors - no damage to headlight.
=>
=>This would make a great tech procedure for your Patrick!  Install
=>headlight shield and try shooting it with a pellet gun from 20 ft! ;)
