    Yeah and if you hit someone that glass shatters and stabs them. The plastic is shatter resistant.

      Did you know shatter resistant glass exists? Like your windshield for example. The issue is plastic is cheap and easy to manufacture and nothing else.

        Tempered glass is very hard to mold into a complex shape. Those plastic headlights shrouds are much cheaper to replace, it’s the internals that are expensive.

        Also that plastic you can just polish and they’re like new.
