Lookin good, the only thing I would recommend is removing the eyelids. They will make your headlights start having spider cracks.

I'd highly recommend removing the eye lids. Like aforementioned, they will create spider cracks in your lenses.

It's due to the different temperatures, the headlight cover will expand and contract unevenly causing it to crack.
