Current NIA eyelids does not fit '11 LED headlights
I have a set of NIA eyelids for my '09 IS350 but have yet to put them on. I was curious how these would look on the '11 LED headlights so I did a test fit on my cousin's '11 IS250 F-Sport. What I discovered is that the plastic lens is slightly shaped differently at the sides so the eyelid will not sit flush against the headlight at the sides. People who may be thinking about getting a set of these for their '11 LED headlights might want to check with NIA first to see if they are going to make a set for the new headlights.

No, they do fit my car ('09 IS350, stock HID headlights) spot on! My cousin's '11 IS250 was next to my car so I did a test fit on his car to see how the new headlights look with the eyelids and found it doesn't fit perfectly.
I might dremel down the eyelids a bit to mimick the look of the Seraph eyelids. Those flow with the hoodline and looks better IMO.
