Well I have had my HID Retro fits done for a little under a month now, but want to add an eyelid. I got some vinyal for FREE from a sign shop here in town, but it won't curve around the headlight without leaving a crease. Trust me, I spent like 3 hours one night pushing this way, then that,then from the middle, then down, then at an angle... always a crease, unless I cut it.

So I would like to paint them, but need help deciding how to do it. I kind of like the body line way, straight across, but then again... CSS always helps with ideas .



more pics coming

Whats everyone's opinion? Tinypic won't let me upload anymore tonight.

 

Tape and pint.......very easy

 

hmm.. thinking of painting eyelids myself...

 

i loved my eyelids.

yeah those are pretty sweet!

 

yes they were, but i had to replace my driver side h/l and when i repainted the eyelid i scratched it twice putting it back in so i just took some paint remover too them.

 

i've been thinking about painting 'lids on mine too. the only thing holding me back is just my luck they'd be uneven lol.

 

haha ready for this, heres my pics

 

awesome pics!! nice job on the eyelids guys

 

thanks mine were free, did them myself with the help of my uncle, btw mine are painted on, i also painted the top of the headlight inside so when the hoods closed you dont see the tan inside and it looks ugly!!!!

 

i painted mine too.. very easy.

mine are starting to chip though. i do alot of highway driving. i absolutely hate rock chips.

anyone else have this prob?

(sorry for thread jack)

 

It's cool. I got a 3" Garage Weatherstrip kit and cut it down to like 1.25" and used a bead of silicone on the the back of the headlights to help seal the hood... so you wouldn't see the sealant used to obviously reseal everything.

I will have to do this, sooner or later.

 

The vinyl will work, you just need a little heat.

 

vinyl stretches with heat

 

does anyone make vinyl ones im not trying to paint my headlights
