Not to be mean, but seriously? Using plastic/tape as a mod? Come on man.

Instead of making eyelids/brows/non-functioning items, take your headlights apart and fix the condensation....yellow headlights, and flooded headlights look horrible, and it doesnt matter what you have on the car, thats going to be the first thing people notice..its like having 2 fish tanks that are really bright on the front of your car.

What I am saying though is the condensation ruins the whole front of the car. Yellow or not, I cant tell. All I see is water, and too much condensation in there is going to ruin your headlight housing, and in turn making your plans for crystal lenses a flop in the end, cause the inside of your headlights will be ruined and unsightly.

It takes 15minutes to fix. Not trying to be rude, for tackling a eyebrow project, Im just saying that in the time it took for you to work the plastic on the headlights, you could have had them clean, water-free, resealed, and ready to install first thing tomorrow and would have doubled your light output and cleaned up the appearance of your car far more than a eyebrow mod will ever do.

Props on the eyebrows, but maintenance before modification..that includes your headlights.

Your SC is not a 240sx. Don't treat it as such

You should probably take apart your headlight and clean the condensation and lenses.. then reseal.
