Light Guards & Covers

Shield Your Lights From Rocks and Trail Damage

Lights take the first hit. This aisle covers what goes over them: headlight and taillight guards in steel and stainless, covers that snap over an LED light bar when it is not in use, and amber covers that change the color of what comes out of it.

RIGID Industries makes up the largest share here, mostly covers for their own light bars and cube lights. A cover on a parked bar keeps the lens from being sandblasted at highway speed, and it takes an aggressive-looking bar down a notch on days you would rather it did not stand out.

Guards are the other half. Rampage, Steelcraft and Rugged Ridge build headlight and taillight guards, several of them in the Euro style that bolts over the lens in a black or stainless frame. Putco, Auto Ventshade AVS, Body Armor 4x4, Smittybilt and TrailFX cover the rest.

Most of these are model-specific. A guard built for one Jeep generation will not sit right on the next one, so filter by vehicle before you filter by finish. Amber covers are worth a second thought as well, since they change the color of the beam and not only the look of the light.

Common Questions

Do light bar covers stay on while driving?

That is what most of them are for. A cover keeps grit, salt and stone chips off the lens on the highway when the bar is not in use, and it comes off in seconds when you need the light. Covers are made to fit one specific light, so check the listing against what is on your vehicle.

What is a Euro light guard?

A framed guard that mounts over the headlight or taillight, common on Jeeps and older trucks. We carry them in black and in stainless, sold as headlight pairs and as larger front kits that cover more of the lights. They keep brush and thrown rocks off the lens and noticeably change the front-end look.

Will a guard reduce how much light I get?

Slightly. Anything with bars across the lens blocks a small amount of output, and a tinted or colored cover changes both the color and the amount of light coming through. Clear covers and open-frame guards give up the least. Match what you choose to how much night driving you actually do.
