Although I'm not a fan of them myself, always found them too restricting for vision.

Post by: Disco Matt on August 10, 2008, 19:08:38: Regarding the Disco lights problem, I'm planning to have a crack at making some sort of shades for mine or at least fiddling with cardboard in an effort to make a template.

Post by: P16LET on August 10, 2008, 19:25:06: Nice job with that!!.....We have the same problem with the 110.... :(

I did wonder though (..as I'm in the process of shopping for a lightbar for my Disco) whether a bonnet bug deflector would suit the purpose with a bit of re-jigging?? :-k
For the fact you can also get them in smoked perspex, it would take away the glare at night, but not the visibilty......

Interesting - looks promising. I'll have a play with some scrap card and see how big they'd have to be when it stops raining for a bit.

Post by: Steve ray on August 10, 2008, 23:50:36: sorted - you've got too many lights above your roof! :shocked:

Visor looks good, but may impair vision - esp if tall. But if it works for you, then its a great mod :D

Wonder if you could get a sort of "inverted cap" for the light to stop the glare??

If they need to be that long I won't bother - it'll look ridiculous! :lol:
