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.

 

Not tryin to jack your thread here but what do u guys use to keep the eyelids on ..I used the 3m tape that came with them and after 2weeks they started falling off

 

Maybe the car is telling you something, its probably screaming "don't rice me out"

 

^^^lol, I seen stress cracks from people who tint their healights, i would iamgine 3m tape doing the same

 

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.

 

^makes sense. ive seen alot of 03-05 headlights get severe stresscracks from eyelids/tint.

 

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

 

lol

 

mine were built to order from a guy on ebay, 3m body taped on been almost a year, no problems, definetly isnt a rice look on a z
