now last thing. how did you measure up the eyelids to be the same and where do they start and end.
also did you primer before painting or just painted right on the sanded part?

I used adhesive promoter, which is like a clear primer.

and basically i picked a mark on the side of the headlight that was already there, and the same on both lights, to start the line, and used the tape to create a line from that point, to the apex of the outside of the light.

if that made sense....

those look great! i did my eyelids black instead of yellow to go with the bowtie and ss emblems. it looks awasome!
