So I've had an idea to make some spotlight covers with a custom logo on them. Does anyone have any experience with how to go about this?

I'm thinking of soft rather than hard plastic covers, so I guess some sort of leather or vinyl would be the best choice, with a drawstring to keep them on. Does that sound sensible?

As far as getting the logo on there goes, what's the easiest/most durable option? I've seen embroidered ones, and I know screen printing is an option. But the design I've got has a fair few small features, so not sure how I can get those across.

And if anyone happened to have some templates kicking about, they're 5" Wipac spotlights!

You could try a place like this that can custom make them (I’ve not used them but they have a lot of different products)

The best thought out auxiliary lamp covers were made of a perspex front with a faux leather "glove"  covering the the body.

 

In the event of unexpectedly encountering fog. the lights could be turned on, enabling the car to be driven to a suitable area, where the covers covers could be safely removed.
