As I said before, it's either Huntington Cruise's eyelids, or none.



Good eyelids IMO changes the looks of the headlights. NIA just makes it look sleepy.

But I think they're expensive as I remember.

Rash, those look pretty good, subtle but noticeable. I have never heard of Huntington Cruise.. they look similiar to the Seraph eyelids

Yea, I'm still debating whether I should put them on as is (leaning towards no), dremeling/shaving them down to look like the Huntington Cruise/Seraph eyelids, or just sell it.

CCJ22, I got these from you, how come you didn't want them on your car?

If you get eyelids make sure you add carlashes too

Lids just add extra lines to small area there around hood, fender and headlight. Just like a bunch of roads congrated for no special purpose.
someone mentioned carlashes. How about headlight visors like the ones on ebay for mirrors?

It's your ride. If you like it, go for it!!

Cause my headlights are painted black... And my exterior is black. So adding black eyelids would have not really been noticed.

Nah, carlashes not my style. You can take the credit on being the first 2IS with carlashes though since it was your idea and suggestion

I like the Seraph/Huntington cruise look. Subtle and not too cluttered looking. Guess it's time to break out my dremel.

With eyelids, the headlights look like Evo 9.

I see leave it alone... it looks great without the eyelids already.
