I have a mercedes with the similar shape light of the mini. Has anyone experienced issues with them hurting the paint due to wind ?

I've had my lashes on for about two weeks now and I just noticed the scratches on my paint from them fluttering in the wind when I'm on the highway. I'm a bit devastated because I have a fiat that's bright yellow an the lashed left black scratches all over my paint that will now have to be buffed out and maybe repainted. Wish someone had posted about this earlier...

The eyelashes flutter when the car is moving but the do not even come close to touching the car.

If you put them under the edge of the hood they will not hurt the paint. The directions should tell you how to put them on and were to put them properly. I have them on my VW just under the edge of the hood and have not had a problem with them with the wind. Good Luck

I personally would not buy this style unless you have a windscreen myself mine only lasted a year! But you tie then into your break light, lights are constantly on once you turn your key really easy to do if you know how to trace your wires.

It looks good but I'm not sure on it's durability yet. In fairness, I painted when temps were below 40 and it says not to. I did some handles in our bathroom and one of them has a small wear spot already. It does look great other than that. If you're not going to handle the lights a lot, you should be fine.

Mine are still beautiful. My truck stays in my garage at night but I haven't seen any signs of weathering or wear resulting from driving in the elements, day to day.

Hi, I've ridden through a light drizzle a number of times. No issues thus far. Hope it helps

Yes. However I would look into getting some sealant. Of course with packaging and such one of mine let moisture in but it is fixed now. I like them a lot. I would also recommend Xenon lights because Halos don't look as good.

It is not an all weather cover. The material is thick and protective but rain and sleet get through it. Dirt from the rain and splash somehow gets embedded in it also. I had to cut a hole for the antenna on my convertible as it's in the front. It fits the mini well, I keep it garaged and wash the cover occasionally.

I watched them glowing last night as the rain from hurricane Arthur poured down. I have had them outside non-stop for several months with no problem. I had some similar lights from I bought from LL Bean and I left them out for 3+ years, winter and summer.

They have 3M tape backing this is one of the best on the market. I have had it in Texas in well over 100 degrees and set in direct sun light for hours on hours and have not had one problem. They are also very quite when driving. I have had some other brands that when driving the wind noise is very noticeable to loud, these don't have the noise problem. I fill they will hold up just take your time when installing them and prep the surface well. Best of luck -)-

Hi Henry,I've had these horns on my car for several months now and haven't had any issues. I've had my car through the car wash a couple of times and summer rain storms, so far so good. Mine are mounted and attached to the crash bar.

Installed right and left headlights late summer (2014). So far, have not noticed any condesation inside lens. Only issue has been a bulb burning out (drivers side running light bulb).

I usually don't use it with a wind over 15mph...but I just read that owners are using bungee cords to stabilize the reflectors and am going to try it, but am looking for a picture of a sun oven fixed with bungee cords. That would help an awful lot, as we have had a lot of wind this summer.

Just a sidenote to backdrop comment...I LOVE mine and never had an issue. My advice is invest in lights with a shadow box...these are way too harsh.

I don't know because I don't have that problem with mine. I've ridden about 15000 miles with it on my bike and that had never been an issue. I'm not using a 'hood' or shade either as I've see some do.

Must be something wrong with the battery. I haven't had any issues with the little car. Other than I think it's smaller than I thought it would be.

I have had no problems with this cover. It has not scratched my paint, or posed any other problems. It is a well designed, well made cover.
