They do or did serve a purpose.. but for the life of me can't remember it.

I can't even remember if I read it here or my dad told me...

Was there any point in me typing all that...

If you search for the key words, there have been plenty of discussions on these things before. Very much a "marmite" item.

So far as I've been able to ascertain, they serve no purpose other than decoration and to put pedestrians and cyclists at unnecessary risk.

I find it difficult to understand why they are allowed at a time when so much work is going into making vehicles 'friendlier' to vulnerable road users.

Better off without them!

Didn't they reduce glare in fog?

Anyways... I don't like them.

If I was an MOT inspector - I would fail the car on 'sharp edges'!

Not all headlamp peaks are equal, as shown here:
