Hey i got it from Custommaxima.com, for 65 I think they are real nice, except the part where we have to shave of that bump in our head lights. but i am sure some one will have something i can use. The reason i choose to get them is beacuse they look really nice on a black maxima. check out the pic below

I bought the Sarona eyelids from custommaxim.com months ago and shaved down the nub on my headlight with a dremel tool. The eyelids look great on a black Maxima.
The nub is a solid part of the headlight, there is no air behind it which means that no hole will be made by removing it.

I read in here somewhere that the bump on the top of the light has no air bubble behind it but the one on the bottom does. But your not touching the bottom one anyway so its all good.

p.s. sickmen that is not his max he just used the pic to show the eyelids. Thats the max that will be featured in the nissan commercial.

Those are not the eyelids that are sold by CustomMaxima.com and made by Sarona. The ones in that picture are painted onto a clear GTS headlight cover. The Sarona eyelids look very similar, only the curve down on the inside of the headlight to follow the contour a little, rather than going staight across to the grille. They are a piece made out of fiberglass that is glued onto the headlight. I dont have pics sorry.

Yep, top one has no bubble but the bottom 2 do so if you want to make a bottom eyelid you need to shave them down just before it breaks through...

I am very interested in the Eyelids, but I dont want to mess up the headlight aimers. I might do mine in vinyl and just put a hole in for the aimer.

I had GTS custom made by myself, but they w/ time they kind of got foggy and I took them off, I like the nice shinny look of our headlights even though I still love those AE headlights!
