[200q20v] Re: cheap headlight protection

[Ingo D. Rautenberg]

Be advised that there is NO GUARANTY regardless of what protection you put
on those lights.  I had very-well covered Euroes with 12 mil Scotchcal amd
still got a crack in one from a rock at who_knows_what_speed.  Of course,
the lens was only cracked straight through top to bottom, but was still held
in place by the Scotchcal.
