Try eBay, do a search on there for "Headlight covers", then just find the ones that fit what you want them for if they have them. I can't imagine them not having them.

Thumbs up

There about $40 or so at Pep Boys and Autozone. The last time I looked, they kept them in stock on the shelf. If not, you can order a set from the parts counter. Good Luck.,,,,,,98

I believe they are illeagal in all states but is one of them laws cops don't enforce much unless the cop is new on the job and wants to make a name for himself or you break a few other traffic laws and are being a bit of a jerk to the cop that pulled you over is about the only time I think they enfoce it but if you want to put them on go for it.

they used to be called "blackouts" when I had them on the Ranger in the late '80's.

When you buy them it will probably state on the package that they are "off-road" and "show" use only.

They are illegal but you might only get one cop out of 500 or so that will give you a ticket for them. The bad thing is that if you leave them while driving at night you lose much of the brightness of your lights I didn't like them cause I could see chit unless I drove with my high beams on and then after a few months of that they started to warp form the heat. To put an end to this someone tried to stealt them while at the movies and only got part on one they broke so that was enough for me to just get rid of them.
