When you get the lenses go to Wal-Mart and purchase some of the vinyl they have in the crafts section. You can use that over your lights to protect them. I had glass lenses but someone ended up breaking one of them and I was going to buy a new set from eBay, but in the mean time I needed something to cover the light that could withstand the heat. I ended up going to Wal-Mart and purchasing the thickest clear vinyl they had. To my surprise I noticed that my light output increased tenfold. I ended up removing the other glass lens and just using the vinyl. I covered the entire housing so no water gets in, it's been about 6 months and no issues. Easy to clean and super durable. It's so thick that something would have to be pretty heavy and sharp to pierce through it. It's like $4 for a square yard which is plenty. I would at least get some and put a film over your new lenses for protection. Wouldn't hurt
