Aliexpress Headlight Guard vs Ammo 

Yup, clear silicone and any moisture issues sorted

Ha! I’m getting stick for selling the blue already. Private emails in my inbox telling me it’s illegal. I’m not sure either way but I know I won’t be risking it on my bike. Red, I agree could also be popular but I think this could be even more problematic than blue as in UK (and rest of world) as red is only permitted on the rear of vehicles.

How will it damage the head light

Hello!! How will it damage the light?

Sorry you had to buy the cheaper version first. Hopefully this video will prevent this happening for others. Please come back on here and post a new comment (so I see it) with your thoughts between the two after you have seen the ammo in the flesh.

Legalities differ from country to country

I’ve raised this in many social media including RU-vid, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook showing how to install the ammo properly. If it’s not installed properly it can take on water. We only had 1 in last week which the customer didn’t even notice (he was having other work done) but I pointed it out and we removed, cleaned and refitted. He admitted that he didn’t take the time to fit in accordance to the instructions. No the colour filter will not make the Ali Ammo stronger. It has no seal. No seal means it will take on water

Hi, we have close to 3000 out there on bikes now so we’re pretty happy with the results. Partial fogging has been reported in minus temperatures. It’s not about the rain necessarily, however if it’s not fitted with care and attention then rain could get in and cause fogging.

That is the risk. I won’t be having it on my bike.

Blue is not legal. We don’t recommend it. We supply based on demand

Hey, so my ammoguard arrived. 1. You are being too kind to the aliexpress one. My Ali version came with a cracked lens, weeks ago. I'm still waiting for the replacement they are supposedly shipping. When I took it off, it was also clear that even dust and mud gets behind the Ali version. Not having a seal is a huge reason to avoid these cheap ones. Their fragility is another reason. 2. The ammo guard is made of much sturdier stuff. 3. nitpick, I thought the ammoguard should come assembled. I ordered it with the amber lens and iirc I. The install video it shows it shipping with the amber installed. It's a small thing, but keeping it clean and assembling it without lint/etc was a pain. 4. Nitpick, Ammoguard long vs short screws either don't or do have thresdlock pre-applied, but there is no mention of it in the instructions. It's a little confusing and, being cautious, adding wet thresdlock and trying to avoid it wicking between the lens layers is a hassle. 5. Final one is the instructions are WAY too verbose. Instructions shouldn't be a conversation 😂 Nitpicking here but otherwise it's a really solid product. Having tried three variants of headlight guard - lone rider, Ali express knockoff, and ammo guard - this is by far my favorite headlight guard.

Just another note... how secure is the AMMO in saving the headlight when a heavy stone comes at the headlight?

You’re probably right and I for one won’t be using this on mine, but are you speaking for every country? Solid blue lights seem to be seen frequently now in UK on fronts of lorries and I can’t imagine these haulage companies messing about with our UK law enforcement. I think you’ll find it’s strobing blue lights that are an outright no.

I agree but you should add to that….any ANY headlight guard sitting in front of any headlight is not road legal. We state on all material / listing / packaging this is not for road use which is exactly the same as BMW do for their factory headlight protector.

It’s being raffled off soon so stay tuned

It’s grey area but will definitely getting the attention of the police. In terms of off road use only……any headlight guard no matter whether it’s clear or not is illlegal. Ammo is popular because it appears to be an OEM part when you fit it without the coloured lens.

Quite Possible.

Good for you! If you don’t need to wash your bike or ever ride in bad weather, and never get a stone fly up and hit it……you’ll be fine

Hi, send me your email direct and I can send you a screen shot of our company credit card statement showing the payment. I can’t post it on here in a way that’ll be in context to this video. I honestly paid less than £14. Carol who works for me managed to secure it for this price.

I don’t doubt that Steve. Loads of discounts can be applied if you know how. Anyway while folk are looking for one at £14 they won’t be buying at £40!

Send it back and I’ll even send you this Ali version so we then get your FAIR comparison. I’m not making this up.

@@ABIKETHING it’s not worth sending back. Your product is obviously better quality, but when all the brass inserts release from the plastic trim there’s nothing holding the lens against the gasket, meaning both products seal out weather the same amount. Zero. I like your stuff and I buy your products, but this is a miss, and I feel that people aren’t observant enough to see the weak points in it yet. They will.

I know, I actually switched all my aux lights off when I passed through Germany last year.

The Chinese version doesn’t work but what’s your point?

Fair comment

Sorry if you misunderstood that abikething is a business. I’m not a classic look at me RU-vidr who vlogs about my life. You’re also confused between cheap and time. My options are spend money on ads or spend time on recording and editing. Have you noticed I switch all RU-vid ads off on my channel? This is the way I do it and it works.
