Its there in case the lights are broken, easier to clean up if the bits are taped together.
Not strictly necessary on the road, but then neither are rear spoilers or body coloured bumpers.

You dont get up one day and think, ooh ill go have a crash today! Its just a spur of the moment thing, wrong place, wrong time.
Save the tape for the track mate.

Is this true?
Seems silly if bad boyed bonnets are legal.. and eyebrows and headlight masks.
They all cover some part of the headlight unit..

tape goes over the headlight, this would affect the beam alignment, the beam alignment has to be legally correct even in the day

i think someone should find a scrapper, tape the headlights and smash them. Proper scientific test like.

see my avatar, the bmw has tape over the headlights, one of these will be removed, maybe both for better air intake..
u need them on alot of tracks.
My bmw doesnt get used much.. infact, its not been used barely this year, but it will only be used for running itself in, track use, and it is a track car.
is urs a track car?

Beam pattern needs to be legal. Whether tape alters that or not I'm not sure.
Plus they might not have noticed/cared.
