I like them on. The dark looks good with the dark center opening. Does that make any sense?

For those of us with the "yellow-ing" of our headlights.
Try the following, it worked for me;
1) Remove headlight covers from car.
2) Use a metall polish (for aluminum or stainless steel) and polish light cover following directions on polish.
3) May need to repeat step two a couple of times.
4) Using a car polish (for cars with clear coats), polish headlight covers following directions on polish.
5) May need to repeat step four two or three times.
6) Using car wax, wax the headlight covers.
7) May need to repeat step six two or three times.
Can't tell the difference between a new headlight cover and the now revitalized one.

It's up to you.. There's no way I drive with them on at night. I'm in rural Missouri where many roads are pitch dark. Even with my fogs on, I can't see crap. It's a PITA sometimes taking them on and off, but I've learned to live with it.

Do whatever you want, your style seems to be to put plastic crap all over your car, so if I were you I would leave them on.
If it were me, I take all black plastic crap off so people would not think I was trying to dress up an old contour and be a poser.

It's up to you.. In this case, practicality rules over image. Take them off. No matter how good they look (IMO), just imagine trying to take them off at night in a huge storm just so you can see where you're going. There could be even worse situations. No way would I want to do that.
