Headlamp Protection?

The glass casing of my headlamp now has 2 big rock holes in it. Does anyone use a headlamp shield of some sort? I live in Vegas, there are rocks everywhere on the freeway as there is a ton of construction going on.

Thanks!

PP sells these: http://www.performanceproducts4truck...ens+Protection

I've never used them, but they look like they would work

Cut to fit and 20 mil thick. Not a bad price either!

I'm worried about discoloration and or the heat generated from the headlight "melting" the shield onto the glass. No issues with that? If not, my credit card is ready to go!

I've used Xpel on my headlights for 7 years now with no problems - and no rock chips. And this on a T4R I tow behind my motorhome.
