Help...Eyelids

...Tell me I just paid $80 from CustomEnterprise for these little eyelids! ...I know I shoulda bought them from Redline for $35,but I was lazy....DAMN...

Best way to put them on? sticky tape? glue? Do they go over the little nub on the headlight or do they sit above it?!

i think that they are usually adhesive on the back, and you just remove some kinda tape or something. and i have also heard that that top aiming **** has to be shaven off, depending on the type of eyelid, of course. hope they look great.

I dont know if its just gay Massachusetts...but I heard eyelids are illegal because they block light output? My friend had to take his off come inspection time....is that true?

I got **** during my last inspection for my red/clears

I specifically went at dusk so that they would be brighter... but just so happened that the mechanic doing my test had a 97-99 maxima and pointed out that I removed the red reflector from the bottom corners of the lights... and I said, "well the top still has red reflectors" and he still passed me.

Needless to say I will be visiting a different garage next year
