Application
These headlight covers were issued as standard equipment to military vehicles during WWII. They were used to prevent the reflection from chromed headlamps revealing the vehicle's position, particularly in daylight. The covers were stowed together with the windscreen cover under the passenger seat when not in use.
Installation notes
Attachment with elastic band around the headlamp housing. The cover is pulled over the headlamp with the elastic band holding the cover in place. No tools required for fitting.
Compatibility
Suitable for WWII military vehicles with standard 5½" headlamps. Please note: diameter approximately 18 cm. Verify that the dimensions match your specific headlamps.
Historical context
Canvas headlight covers were supplied as standard with new military vehicles during WWII, even during periods of canvas shortage when some vehicles were delivered without side curtains or top. This underscores the tactical importance of these covers for preventing detection by glinting.
