Eyelids, not so much...but I have a question...being that they are so far down, how do they affect light output at night?


No more than the regular eyelids. If you look at them dead on, the line matches up with the top of the bulb, so it still had pretty nice output. Drove it last night for the first time since the mod and had no problems seeing.

Can't hate on that. Still looks good. And so does the lip in the light. Good job bro.

[QUOTE=WHAT LAG;5251014]For mine i picked up a can of Dupli-Color Perfect Match Premium Automotive Paint and laid it on thick. I was going to get the Color Matched paint from GM but this was at AutoZone for 1/3 the price. The color is the same, but it came out a bit dull. Had to wax and buff it pretty good.

I want to buy this touch up cans but how did you knew the color will match? Did you verify with your color paint code?

Miss a step? I did not take it off because i already had to mask the whole rear-end up for the reverse evo mod. So while i was at it, i simply slid paper behind the emblem all around it, and taped it up. Was a lot easier than taking it off, given the circumstances. Now had i now been already masking up the whole back end, it would have came off to paint, like i did with the front one.
