Eyelids can be a good look, however if you have a VIP project in mind I would suggest getting it all together or it will just look a little odd. Here is what they will look like on the first gen.


BTW,,,,SKperformance absolutely LOOOVVVEEESSSSS this pic!!! Watch him chime in.

LOL @ trukn1 !

The best eyelids are where you make a sketch on the light copy it to the other light for symmetry .
Mask the area and then sand lightly and then spray with auto primer then have it layered in the factory colour.
It looks perfect and smooth as well as cannot be stolen or fall off , as well you can still remove your lights without damaging the eyelids.
