Headlight protectors

why can’t you buy headlight protectors for the VX? Someone said it’s because of the water jets?. Not so sure how that would make a difference...

the light shape is the same as the base model... that cAn have them... am I missing something?

Not convinced the lense jets/ washers would be all that effective anyway (then again no car I’ve owned have had them) but I’d much prefer to wash the headlight lens every so often than have to shell out $$$ to replace one if it cops a stone

VX has HID lamps (I believe?). It's an ADR requirement for HID headlights to have washer jets to keep the lenses clean, preventing light bouncing all over the place and dazzling other drivers.

Yep SaltBox has it in one. To be able to do it legally you'd need washer jets to do both the inside AND outside of the headlight protector.

Only problem with the ADR requirement for HID lights is that the 2018 VX has LED headlights as does the GXL & Kakadu, looking at the front bar it looks like they have washers so most likely the ADR requirement for washers applies to LED as well. Having had HID lights with washers in a previous vehicle I find that the washers work surprisingly well.
It is the GX which can have headlight protectors as the GX has halogen lights.
