I've seen many pictures of cars with an "X" on the headlights...can someone explain?

 

Been explained before but I know search is hard.
X or the blue tape is so that when/if you crash or anything the glass/plastic from your headlight doesn't get over the track making it worse for other racers

 

track cars...so the glass wont shatter all over the track and cause flat tires...

 

If a stone gets kicked up and shatters the lense on the track the tape keeps the lense together so glass doesn't fly all over the track. It's pointless on a street or show car.

Edit: Jeez 2 other people beat me to it

It's okay all 6:01.. BUT I still win

 

its also to prevent the light from shinning into the other car smirrors ect, since some cars have running lights( i belive i know its that way for motorcycles) and you also need to unplug the harnesses if you have running lights(head lights that are constantly on)

 

thanks...kept seeing it in pics from meetings and ****, lol track "bling"
