Hey guys i just recieved a new 5.5gen headlight but the only problem i am having is that my eyelid is still on the old headlight and im kind of scared to use the heat gun because i have heard it will snap or break and i do not want to buy a new eyelid! if anyone has any suggestions or tactics to do this please help me out!

 

Chances are you will have to buy a new set if they are fiberglass. I'm on my third set.

 

zero where did you get yours from?

 

i purchased them through customaxima.com, i only replaced one headlight so right now the front of my car looks like it is winking smh.. there are no alternatives?

Yo Durim use a hair dryer and some dental floss or a fishing line. It should work just like it does when shaving the emblems off the trunk.

 

If it's a fiberglass eyelid, then good luck. Poly ones come off with a heat gun just fine on the lowest setting.

You can try to get fishing line and lightly warm up where the eyelid meets the headlight, then use the line to break the seal.

 

anythings possible but, those things are so fragile, they snap edges of em when washing your car if your not careful... even if you get that tape softed with the heat its gonna be alot of fun... i would order another set and then try so you dont get dissapointed.

 

Second set here.

 

that sounds like a good idea chris im gonna try it out on saturday before that meet on sunday! i really hope i dont break it

The owner is The Laws friend. Great guy, great quality product.

 

It worked for me on my fiberglass eyelids but these are on my 4th gen. Good luck.

 

What?

 

im nervous to do it, i really do NOT want to break it.. im cheap

 

yeah and thouse headlights have 1/3 the curves

 

Here are the results! and the tools i used.

 

I knew it would work.

My eyelids are probably harder than those. Mine curve over the headlight, yours just stick onto the front but whatever. Happy the OP got em off.

 

 

Don't forget to bring that headlight for me tomorrow

 

 

Now I ain't BBQ'n

 

w/e is right, myne curve over the head light too?

good job OP, anything is possible

 

looks good!

 

I don't mean to 'thread-jack' but at the same time, I didn't want to start a completely new thread, but ever since LCT stopped selling the eyelids, what would be the best eyelids to get for a 5.5 gen?
If it helps, my max is Majestic Blue and will probably end up paying to paint it.

'Maxy91', would you say the ones from custommaxima are worth it?

 

Yesir! they are perfect however i can not say that about most custom maxima products
