I've had factory covers over halogen headlights for a while and as long as 
they're kept clean, there's not much loss. Plexiglas also yellows with time but 
the main problem seems to be that there are few bulbs small enough to fit in 
the available vertical opening in Pantera fenders and still give a good 
short-distance light pattern. So many stationary-bulb conversions cut the section 
from the original light opening down to the body break-point for a deeper light 
pattern. And most of us simply won't cut the body.... FWIW- J Deryke
