Post Stoneguard (tm) and Headlight *****
Bought some Stoneguard(tm) sheet material today with the intention of putting some on my headlights and running lights.
My headlights have three "*****" each, two on the bottom and one on the top. Has anybody come up with any brilliant ideas for how to cut them out?

This might be taking things overboard, but you could switch to the flat H4 lights that don't have the protusions

Those "*****" are needed to align the lights with a machine.

Years ago, I installed pre-fabricated stone-guard covers for the headlights and driving lights that I bought from 928 Specialists. They were (and still are) a perfect fit. YMMV.

It sounds like you ordered the wrong StonGuards; they make a couple different versions. You could try a punch...

Get the flat 8" lights, then the guard is a breeze. I cant see it on mine at 3 ft away.

Ernest,
How about a single hole punch?

Take measurements on the light, mark Stonguard and punch.

Hi Scott,
The top boob is 7mm and the bottom ones are 9mm I guess I could buy a punch set and do it that way.
