For track days, if a stone hits them and they smash, the tape is to hold most of it together.

Unless you are talking about that "Twin headlamp" look, which is basically completely tape over the headlamp and cut 2 circles out per headlamp!

A top quality mod sported by chavs everywhere!

I also heard that if you have a rally style number on your car you have to cross it thru with tape when driving on the road apparently...

My old golf used to have Crosshairs, there used in the golf scene as well but more for looks.

However, like many has said there used in case the headlights shatter.
