Perhaps, but they do leave a sticky film and I suppose I was being misleading in giving the impression they were used on a Rover. They were not. In fact they were used on a Fiat Croma MkII which has projector headlamps like a Fiat Bravo. These are are large swept back poycarbonate and sticking sellotape all over them would be a mess. Eurolite also say and whether its true or not I do not know but quote; "Anti-Scorch Technology using Heat Mirror foils - ensures the extra heat / light generated by Xenon HID / projector headlamps is reflected back into the headlamp to optimise the beam pattern and prevent scorching to modern polycarbonate headlamps".
If that is true using black tape, gaffer tape etc might not be such a good idea depending on how long they stay on. Ours needs to be on for about 2 months.
All answers on a postcard pls!
