Abstract
A selectively orientable headlight guard is disclosed for a vehicle having a headlight assembly. The headlight assembly includes a headlight and a plurality of attachment locations around the headlight. The headlight guard has a cage configured to overlie and protect the headlight. Attachment features on the guard are configured to allow the guard to be attached to the headlight assembly in a first orientation relative to the headlight or alternately in a second orientation different from the first orientation relative to the headlight. The attachment features may be associated groups of openings, arced slots, or a separate attachment ring or attachment lugs. The headlight guard can be attached such that the cage is oriented in at least two different directions relative to the headlight to alter the aesthetics of the headlight and headlight guard.
