Grille Guards & Light Protectors
About Grille Guards & Light Protectors
Light covers make up most of this category. They protect the lens of a light bar or pod, and the listings also include light bar covers and a headlight guard. A few general accessories are also listed here, such as a hitch shackle, a wheel spacer kit and a cordless heat gun, so read each title.
Light covers are sold by light series and size: the listings name D Series, E Series, SR Series and 360 Series covers, in sizes such as 4 inch, 6 inch and 10 inch, in clear or amber. Match the series and the length to the light you own, since a cover made for one light will not fit another. Whether a cover can stay on while the light is on depends on the cover, and heat can damage some of them, so follow the maker's instructions. A headlight guard, such as the Shark Demon 2 listing, is a clear guard that protects the headlight itself.
Brands in this category include Custom Dynamics, ProX, Rigid Industries, Factor 55 and Performance Tool. For other front-end protection, see Frame & Crash Protectors, Skid Plates, Sliders & Spools and Additional Guards & Protection, all part of Guards & Protection.
FAQs on light covers and guards
How do I pick the right light cover size?
Match the series and the length or diameter of your light. Listings name the series, such as D Series, E Series or SR Series, and a size such as 4 inch or 10 inch. A cover for a different series will not fit, so check the markings on your light.
What does an amber light cover do?
Amber covers are tinted. Depending on the product, they may be meant to protect the lens or to give the light an amber tone, so read the maker's notes. Clear covers protect the lens without tinting it.
Can I drive with a light cover on?
It depends on the cover. Some covers are meant for use while the light is off, and heat from a lit light can damage them. Follow the cover maker's instructions before you ride with one on.
What does a headlight guard protect against?
A headlight guard shields the headlight lens from rocks, branches and impacts, which crack lenses on trails. Choose one made for your machine, and check that it does not block the beam or restrict the light's cooling.
Are all items in this category guards?
No. Most are light covers and guards, but the category also lists a few general accessories, such as a hitch shackle, a wheel spacer kit and a heat gun. Read the product title and description to be sure it is what you want.
