mach2race Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hey guys, I am trying to locate some removable headlight covers for car shows and events, that fit my 08 GT-500. Nothing that uses adhesive, because I will need to remove them for driving at night. Thanks, Shelby Bro's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach2race Posted September 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 No luck finding removeable headlight covers for 2008 GT500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach2race Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hmmm, I guess not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes35 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I don't think anyone makes them. I've been looking at the ones on ebay, but they are a cling on cover. I figure I could run them with high beams at night and probably be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Unless they are DOT approved, you can get cited for having them on the car while it is in motion, even in the daytime, in many States. So the demand dropped and so did the manufacturing for many models of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I am in no way saying these fit properly, because I have no experience with them, but here is a clear cover set that is specific to the 2007-2009 Shelby GT500. They could be tinted to your preference?..... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gts-gt0241c/applications/submodel/shelby-gt500?prefilter=1 ^^^^This GTS company also makes tinted covers for the same application............but they say something about Carbon Fiber look?? I wonder if these clear covers would be a wise investment to place over the expensive HID housings for protection?

mach2race Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 I found a set last night and ordered them. Ventshade part # 37412. It claims to be a direct fit for gt500. I ordered mine thru a place called "AUTOPARTS warehouse." These are smoked acrylic. Cost is 71.86 per pair. I just plan on using mine at car shows. I spent hours and hours online, to find these. Mine should be here in a few days! Hope this helps you guys out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Canfield Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 This is a car I had a hand in designing and building for SEMA in 2004, One of the most unique things we did was crack upon the headlight buckets and apply a layer of tinted film that became clear when an electric current was introduced. So, when the lights were turned on, the light covers became clear. I sat in the car for hour during the SEMA show amazing passers by simply by flipping the lights on and off and seeing their reaction. That part of the build was one thing I did not participate in so I don't know the technical side of it, and the discussion about offering it to the public ended with the uncertainty about its legality.

mach2race Posted March 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 I did receive the covers. but they are not the right covers. They fit the standard mustang and probably the shelby GT, but not the gt500. I will be returning these. Sorry guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
