واقيات المصد الأمامي


Explanation:
If you check this picture, you will see that bull bars aren't actually meant to protect the headlights but to protect the front bumper: http://www.bedwebs.com/westin_bull_bars.htm
Some countries are looking to ban them as they seem to cause more deaths of pedestrians in case of accidents.

neutral  Nesrin: You're right but putting it that way in Arabic is a bit ambiguous, as these are also the terms for ordinary front bumpers.
