I fitted them, but they have no practical use at all. In fact, the oposite - because it makes it difficult to clean the lights. They're purely for the look.Matt

I don’t see the point of them at all.
They’re purely cosmetic & as “d3matt†has said they get in the way of cleaning the lamps.
So my vote is cast in the negative.

Agree with all of the above but might use as template for more robust ones

I thought the same as all of you....Until i hit a pheasant doing 80 mph (no the pheasant was not the one doing 80mph) and after £300 + for a replacement i have been concidering front guards.
I wish i was going slower it might have suffered before it died ...as i have (ha ha ..joke honest)

thanks slimer,
I will get some of them, wish I knew about them a couple of weeks ago, before the pheasant incident!
IMO, this is what a forum is about.

I have 3m film on the front lights, but the rears do look very vulnerable.
You'd have to be going some to hit a pheasant backwards at 80 mph!
Slimers ones are pretty smart. Saw his car last night and you cant see the guards unless you look really closely. I guess you could even put LR ones over the top for the looks?Disco 5 HSE Lux

I quite like them, cosmetic I know, and yes a to clean, but that's more the problem of the 'oik' I pay to do it for me, than an issue for me.
I think it adds a little to it's bulk and rugged good looks. D3 HSE V8...
