I have fiberglass eyelids. Not installed but no way would I consider them if they were stickers like what you're trying to do...

I think it kind of ruins the look of your headlights, But I never really understood the purpose of eye lids though

I think your car looks good without the lids. I had a buddy do it to his car and it just didn't look right.

i usually don't care for eyelids, but i'd like to see those at a wider angle to give a final verdict.

If you do anything to your headlights, black out those reflectors. Don't do eyelids.

Seriously.

I have YET to understand this eyelid 'mod'. I've been on this forum and into cars since I was 16 (I'm 22). What...the hell...do they do? I think they look like utter crap.

Tigerdude IIRC the eyelid over the clearance light WILL cut the clearance lights output, I think that's the reason why all of the eyelids i've seen don't go over the clearance light. I don't know about you, but I've noticed how important they are in these unlit streets of Manhattan, but you're in a city so I guess that's not as big as an issue to you.

No they don't, but they still light up the road when I look to make a turn, whenever I make left turns now I can't see anything!!! But I am able to see the road when I make right turns.

Again, Manhattan only has a few main roads lit up, and when you're driving around houses you get nada, I almost hit a tree trunk making a left the other night.

I will take pics if you really use the clearance lights like I do.

LOL, Did I buy the driver side one from you? I don't remember. It's sitting in front of my TV so I can semi-motivate myself to put it on, I ran on the track w/o it, I called it a "Ram-Air Intake Mod".....
