When I had them, I would have to take the eylids off and then re-glue it. Now that I got the newly designed eyelids, I dont have this problem. The new ones only go on the headlight, they do not wrap around the clearance light anymore. They are a nicer, better made design too. Had to buy new clearance lights though cuz the old ones had glue all over them. Oh well...

Where did you get these new eyelids from? Do you have any pics of them? I have never seen the ones that just go on the headlights.

Can't you replace the corner bulbs without taking the lenses out? If you have small enough hands, you should be able to just reach in there and take the socket out.

Get the new eyelids from Greg. They are $65. He doesnt carry the old design anymore, only the new ones.
To change the bulb I could never fit my hand down in there, it was too tight for me.

Nope, now they are L shaped. They start at the seam between the head and clearance light. They go across the top of the headlight and all the way down the inside edge of the headlight (against the grille) and tapers off to a point right before it gets to the bumper. They look good and fit very well. I like the look a hell of a lot better...
