Can't wait to see pics. I was thinking of adding eyelids as well but thought it might look to rice.

yup... i remember you quite clearly and i will still stand by my word

here's how i did mine.
i cut out a 2 ft by 5 inches strip
I take off the sheet so that the sticky side shows
wet my headlight
i put the whole 2 foot by 5 inch strip ON my headlight and then cut going along the body's lines and ect.
i cut the top but leave some room so i am able to crease the black film so no light will show because the black film will be inside the creases under the rubber and body part etc.
then after that i would cut the film ON the headlight.
a tedious job.
i didn't want any light showing and i said i'll do it for you but need your headlight to have it perfect

you also asked if you could pay me to make it for you
i declined payment and offered to do it for free if you come out to a NELOC meet.. not a bad trade i thought.

but i'm glad you made them...

LOL yes exactly LOL. But heres how i made mine. I got a 14" long piece of paper and dry erase marker. I Marked the headlight with the outline of where i want to keep the vinyl. the i soaked the paper with goo gone. The made the paper see thru. Then i laid the paper on the headlight which showed the outling of where i wanted the vinyl. Then i traced the lines, and then cut the paper. The finally traced it onto the vinyl sheet and wallah!!!!!

Perfect fit!
