Phil,
You are dead wrong about this. Although many malls and parking areas have a maintenance crew on staff that are responsible for tree maintenance, I have had several close calls with tree branches while both backing in to a parking space as well as backing out. Without my tail light guards I can only imagine the horror of having the lens sctratched or worse...broken out. As H2 owners I feel we need to unite, and petition area malls to keep tree branches, scrubs, and other potentially hazaredous shrubbery trimed to a safe level so that we may avoid this type of disaster.
In closing, Tail Light Gurads are an essential accessory for the true H2 enthusiast.

Spike, the easy solution would be not to have them at all
The reality is that apart from when driving backwards and even then, the tail light light guards are more for show than anything else. Not as though there is anything wrong with that, I've got them, but I've never seen a tail light get broken by a branch or anything, although I'm sure it happens.
What is embarrassing though, is when people grab hold of them or lean against them and they almost fall off. Words like "It only looks tough" come to mind
