See that cross over the headlight? It’s electrical tape covering a small part of the light. Seems counterintuitive right?why would you mask the very thing that gives you visibility?
Well firstly, it just looks freaking cool.

Secondly, it’s a homage to the older days where racing was a real contact sport, and glass headlights broke easily, causing them to shatter and litter the track causing problems later on. The electrical tape held it together and helped prevent the shards from damaging body panels or tires had they been driven over.
How’s that interesting. Now when you see someone rocking taped headlights, you too can admire the aesthetic and know the history behind it.
