    How can I make a clear plastic lens to go over my headlights? I think would help with aerodynamics to get through the wind better and help fuel mileage.

    Up on logging roads and mining roads, they use them to protect the headlights from stones and rocksalt. I think they're made in the US. Kind of puts a soft lens and forms a sealed air bubble as a cushion from the rocks. Any hard lense would scratch or crack on a flat system like yours and mine.
