Electrical tape... you've got to be kidding. Just don't have them if you can't get them right now. Instead of people walking by your car and saying," Damn! this guy has freakin electrical tape for eyelids!"

I think it looks good sometimes but I would like to have them for a while to see if I liked them or not and be able to get rid of em later. I would want it to be body matched or else I think it looks hideous.

random question but has anyone had any theft issues while having eyelids on? Especially in the northeast? I know how much thieves jump on the 02/03 HIDs so I was thinking if they looked more attractive they'd be more of a target.

Que? Look at the top of the page. Close enough to sterling mist, but it isn't really

No offense but it looks hideous even when color matched, based on the pictures I have seen. It just looks like something you just tack on your car for the sake of doing something to it.

Too each his own though, right?

I like the way mine look gives it a meaner look to it matched with a stillen lip But like you said to each their own. I didn't like them either at first until I got them in the thinner version. Thick ones make the headlights look like they have tired eyes lol.





This one is linked...Sometimes you can barely tell they're on there

On the first page of this thread...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Maxim...5346QQtcZphoto


01 has a molded headlight instead of smooth like the 02-03 so you will need the 01 eyelids and this guy makes them too. Just send him a message if he can make a set of thin ones for you.

I've had color match thick, and now CF thin. I prefer the thin ones. Thick looked to chunky and were always losening on the corners. No probs with it blockn lights.
