The BBB says that the protective covers confer both Ballistic and Impact armor bonuses of +2 to the eye area. What does that mean?

Since SR4(A) does not have hit locations, it is impossible to target the eye area specifically, so when does the bonus apply? In accordance with the rules for Cyberlimbs it should always apply, but that would be overpowered.
