bmw eyelids

Does anyone know if the fiberglass bmw eyelids fit right with a headlight conversion?? From the looks of pics, they look like they stay pretty much on the headlights and not wrap around on the corners. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried to fit them up.

it doesn't really cover much up...it just get's rid of the nasty little fitment gaps the bimmer light conversion leaves between the light assembly and the hood

the gap isn't even a big deal. i've never had somebody comment about the gap, they always notice how my lights are crooked

the eyelids will make the gap seem mroe "normal". i have a black car too, so, the gap kind of finds a way by itself to blend in
