From the looks, they appear to clip behind the grill and front wing [similar to the light guards].
Are they water/dirt tight?
If not, how would you clean between the light and cover [as, on that basis, they won't be easy to remove]? ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

i had something simular many years ago on an old MK4 cortina.
Smoke coloured perspex covers ..they were great at stopping stone chips etc on your lights ...and they looked pretty cool ( well i thought so back in the latter part of the 80's) G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Disagree somewhat...paintwork and branches do not mix.. true...but the headlamp outer is very, very tough and resiliant to scratches ....and trees....When I hit one at 15mph the outer wasn't marked  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I did that too back in the day - 77 camaro  - until the police made me take them off 
I've considered getting the 3M clear film, but that's as far as it's gone...not sure if it's a waste of money or not.

Few months back did the whole works with the clay, polish (Meguiar's Deep Crystal), & 2 coats of wax (Meguiar's Gold Class) with a buffer. Now I just wash it with Meguiar's Gold Class car wash & give it a final wipe down with a terry towel & he sparkles back up - even after mud days. Good stuff.
