I finally got my umnitza angel eyes installed yesterday. It went well but I may have used a bit too much glue on top. (I didn't want the things to fall off).
So I'm going to get some eye lids. I was wondering how tall they are and how much of the headlight from the top they would cover. Also are there any advantages/disadvantages between the stick on ones or the carbon fiber ones?
Any good recommendations for places to get them online? I'd like for them to come in a similar color to my max so I don't have to get them painted. Thanks.

 

Dont know if this pic helps but i have the carbon fiber eyelids and since i dont have da Umnitza lights i dont know if it would cover enough of the top. But i think it would

Very nice looking BTW

 

All depends on which eyelids you get, some are thinner than others

ie, mine cover up the top portion of the dde's along with the wires

 

check ebay, i found one seller selling both sizes.

 

I think you might be talking about my buddy who makes both thick and thin eyelids for the maximas.

 

GETukrainian those are the ones I'm looking for, they don't seem like they are too thin. Do you think it would be hard to color match spray paint to my body color to paint them?

 

This is the seller that carries both.

the eyelids i had covered a good amount of the top of the rings.

 

That is my buddy's store

 

+1 for Fibre Customs, I got a set of the MX-V2 for the 02-03 Maxima. Great product, and I will be ordering another set... as I screwed mine up. Kept removing them, and applying back with same adhesive.

I had the ones from autoanything... or whatever, and they were the soft (not fiberglass) eyelids, but I wasn't a fan of them.

 

your buddy love the maxima community enough to hook us up?

 

There was a GB done almost a year ago

 

lol, aka no?

thanks mang.

 

i had that color matched by a body shop while he was painting the front lip, grille, and rear bumper. the grill and eye lids were no charge though since the paint was already mixed

 

Hey zero2sixtyZ where did you get that parking light from? The clear one I have doesn't match too well.

 

rkyat, where did you end up getting yours? Did you have to color match them as well?

 

Polarg M4 bulb. One of the most common 194 sized bulbs you can buy, as well as one of the best super white bulbs IMO.

 

i used electrical tape it looks just as good...there pretty thick ones the one you get from walmart for 95 cents yes i kno im ghetto!

 

Take that crap off....nobody wants to see ghetto electrical tape crap

 

its only temporary till i get my eyelids....it looks sooo naked without it

 

www.paradox-systems.com has them.

 

i dont blame you i had electrical tape....but then upgraded to carbon fiber sticker from autozone.....

 

^ That this isn't any better.....

whats his user id jess? gotta get a pair.

 

I believe The Law was helping his friend out when he posted up the GD. So I'm not sure if he has an account here.

Right now he's selling em at full price which is on Ebay. That's the link you posted I think he might still be using my car for the reference car on those "thin" eyelids.

Here's the link...

ahh wii. back to reality, lol.

will msg him.

thanks!

 

Sowwies, but go ahead and ask maybe he'll cut you a deal.

Come to think of it! You could've asked for mine LOL

It was in my FS section I had the driver side covered in CF so that I could repaint after it cracked in the accident.

But TheLaw's friend sent me another set so I didn't need to re-do em.

I've had that set for sale for awhile but they were just purchased yesterday. For $13 shipped.

 

yeah i saw those, should've got them with the headlight i got from you, ah well.

lets stop jacking homeboys thread before he gets his panties in a bunch.

thanks Jess!

 

Will do But definately contact him...

To stay on topic. The thin ones look best and they will cover up the very top of the headlights where you placed the glue. BTW they don't affect light output at all!

 

Take it to PM you two.

 

thin FTW! hahaha



it doesn't cover the tops of the DDE rings if you tried to that'd be way too thick. mainly covers up the wires.

 

plus if your headlights are misaligned, it'll prevent glare.

thanks Law!

 

Your welcome

I'll get some pics of my thick eyelids

 

seen this max around SW..nice work

 

I can make Vinyl ones if I get a test car in San Diego .

Any opinions on whether the thick eyelids affect light output?

I guess it depends on whether the light reflected from the top of the reflector creates the closest portion of the beam pattern or the furthest (on the road). I wouldn't mind losing some light directly in front of the car (because the fog lights take care of that area) but I don't want the beam to lose it's distance.

 

Batman, that would be awesome!

 

sent a pm to batman =P
