A way to protect HIDs? A pic inside...Comments Needed

My friend off another car board suggested this. He drew this up real quick and tell me what you guys think. Will this work? If he missed anything..please respond.

Thanks

I don't know yet..Just want to see if this idea will work first

it wont because they get the light where the fenders and hood meet near the headlight..that part isnt protected so I want comments to see if I got every angle covered first

It won't really help because all they need is a prybar/wonderbar, and the entire hood can be propped open...there are more ways to easily steal the lights than you can imagine...

With an anti theft device that makes it harder to pry, the ******* will destroy the front of your car trying to pry them out.

They can still hit it with a pry bar from the side and destroy the fender.

What we need are entirely metal back housings for the light assemblies and all metal tabs/braces to bolt it to. They could still be stolen that way, but it would take 10-15 minutes instead of 30 seconds per light...
