Default Those Who HAD Eyelids...

To those who had AUT eyelids: Did your headlights get messed up after removing the eyelids? I heard that if put long enough, the eyelids can cause damage to the headlight. I forgot where i heard that though so would like opinions from fellow (ex)AUT eyelid owners

It shouldn't mess up your headlight. What would be messed up?

Depending how long the eyelids are on. In my case anyway there is still an outline of the eyelids on my headlights. I have try several way to remove the outline but to no avail. You might or might not but it happen to mine.

youd need to heat up the eyelid very well before removing w a heat gun or youre gonna crack your lens plastic. and spray wd40 as you remove it.. then clean it up and get a 20 dollar headlight repair kit from Autozone to even out the UV fading... done.

Anything stuck on the lenses long enough will stain them with residue. I had 3 different types on my headlights...3 months your fine, 6 months your fine, after a year they start to leave sh*t behind.

Its not hard to restore the lenses though
