Debating whether to put on eyelids for your headlights is not just a matter of subjective preference, but should be chosen to compliment the theme of your car. If my theme was VIP, I probably won't go with eyelids. If my car falls into the sporty categorical theme, then I would.

More than anything, it says "I desperately want to modify my Lexus; what can I do to it for $60?" I just don't get it. I'm an old white guy, but I wouldn't have cared for this even if I was a young white guy.

I know I just offended you eyelid guys, and I apologize, but I just think eyelids belong on a Civic or a WRX.
I'm an old brown guy and I feel exactly the same way Bob!

Another mod that says the same thing to me are window visors. They just ruin the lines of the car and look like you would be driving very slow in the rain with the windows open...

I don't get that either.

Sorry for offending you guys that like the eyelids and window visors.
