Abstract: A protective shield is provided for secure mounting on a headlight assembly that is to be supported on the head of a user. The shield is formed of a thin sheet of flexible plastic with a mounting means that is integral with the sheet and including a flexible portion, such as a loop and an aperture. The loop bends into engagement with the top of the housing of the headlight assembly, whereas the aperture fits over the front lens where the light is projected. Tab fasteners on curved wings connected to the upper corners of the shield provide a curl to accommodate the face curvature. In an alternative embodiment for covering only the headlight, a similar mounting arrangement is provided, except at the bottom of the flexible sheet an open loop engages the housing.
