Default Pic request: Blacked out 06+ headlights with eyelids

I saw a LS a while ago which would be ideal for me.... but anyone with backed out headlights and eyelids post it up please

Also do they affect the beam patter on the bi-xenons? And it seems like they cover alot of the blinker arena, how visible are they after the eyelids go on?

TIA!

No problem, but it's actually not my car I'm not sure what eyelids they are, but if someone here knows, I would appreciate that info as well. *Edit: after doing a google search, it looks like they are AUT eyelids.


Blacked out headlights (flat black or gloss/paint matched) on a black car look way sick, too. I'm just not sure how it would look with eyelids.

I have a black Z, and I was thinking about doing my headlights black. But I have bright silver Enkei RPF1s, so I think the stock headlights + silver door handles would all go well with the wheels. If I had dark wheels, I'd paint my headlights and door handles black.

You could always do a black out, with airbrushed silver accents to really tie everything together. Maybe do a custom design around the angle eye mod to really pop it off! This week or next, I'll have some airbrushed ideas I'm going to toss at you guys to see what you think. One of them is going to be for the Hawaii Z guys that will incorporate airbrushed flower patterns that I used to do on surfboards in my high school days to make some extra cash.

Sorry man. But to answer you question, I haven't seen any eye lids that will affect the beam.

i know this is off topic but, after you ripped apart your headlights to paint them black, have you noticed any condensation?

It you're not going to get condensation if you seal it back up right.
