The 2007 rulebook states that headlights must be covered with some form of film 
that will keep all the small pieces together. This can be window safety film or 
even heavy packing tape.
   
  I would shy away from usinf NASCAR/NHRA type headlight decals unless 
specifically allowed in a class.

If there is absolutely NO aerodynamic advantage; can headlights be replaced
with paper replicas in classes where WORKING lights are required? For
example, Production class, Gas class, and others. If paper or plastic is
not legal, should the rules be changed in the interest of safety? -Elon
