Headlamp protectors?

anyone know when mk6 headlamp protectors will be available?
i'm thinking early as i only ordered my gti 2 weeks ago- but as i'm getting xenons, i don't fancy a bill for a grand for the sake of £60 thanks to a pesky stone chip on my headlight- i bought a set for my scooby wrx after a stone took out one of my front fogs
Just sold an S5 - previously mkV R32 DSG Metallic Grey with RNS 510 (thanks to MortyGT140)

have a look at what they look like before you buy them - i thought about getting them for my mk 5 which had xenons but they looked sh1te with the covers on them.  also beware of burning issues with them from xenons.  for the extra money i would take a risk (like i did and am doing on my mk6) - you would be very unlucky to get stone damage.

They are probably already avaliable from VW parts departments. The price list I have doesn't list them but it was effective from 1/12/08 so right at the launch time...
