I've been looking for some decent perspex headlight guards ever since I bought my FL2 18 months ago. Well, I came across these today. http://www.flatdoguk.com/headlight-protectors---freelander-2~2309
I'll report back when I have them. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Looks like the ones I have (EGR). Just be careful when putting them on and taking off. The plastic gets brittle. The curved section which bends round and covers the indicator area is not that rigid and mine broke off when a passer-by caught it. Managed to fix it but I now have a visible line of epoxy resin on one. Found them useful when going to France a few years back, I fixed the headlight deflector patches to the guard rather than the headlight itself (Easier to clean the residue off the guard than the headlight). Fitted to my last MY2007 very well but a very tight fit to my current MY2013 (so have left them off for now).
All the best.

Cheers. So they'll fit my 59 plate well then. And thanks for the heads up on the side breaking off. Maybe a strip of Duct tape down the side to hold it firm.  MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Dichloroethane is the solvent to weld acrylic. Use a fine sable artists brush to feed the solvent into the crack. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I've now had two packages from Flatdog and both times the guards have arrived broken. I don't know what's going on here. Either they're sending out broken goods or these guards are so brittle that they can't handle the postage system. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Why bother?
They obviously get brittle (if not made brittle) and what do they actually do? I don't recall seeing any posts on here to do with headlight lenses cracking No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

Actually here in Australia they are a good idea, same reason acrylic bonnet protectors are popular, protect from stone damage, big problem when following big road trains.
I had a pair on my Freelander V6 as well as bonnet protector coming across Australia and they saved my headlights and bonnet from damage, shame about my windscreen which coped a flying stone picked up by a road train and cracked.
I've never seen them available here for FL2. MY15

Can transparent film do same job?

If you are going to use a film, I recommend Xpel. It's a bit expensive but won't turn yellow easily and has self-healing feature.
