Yay. Fitting eyelids is such an enjoyable task, everyone should do it. if you already have them, remove them and fit them again.

I'm going to see if adding beer helps.

ah joel you are correct. the lips seem to foul the surround so ive bent them and they seem better but still a long way off. Theres only about 1/2mm clearance around the lense without the eylids and the eyelids are almaos 1mm thick. I need some kind words of encouragement or I may jump up and down on them.

I'm considering grinding off most of the lip and leaving 3 little tabs as mentioned in an earlier thread.
any thoughts?

i bought the el cheapo ones and after 3 hrs, 2 beers and another 4 bourbons i got them on to fit perfect.... only issue was that later they would get surface rust unless i polished them every 3 weeks.... i purchased some stainless steel ones, but never fitted them as i have since decided to do away with them. i changed the look/style of my car so they wouldnt suit now anyway.🤪

the garden variety eyebrows out there were never actually made to fit 12 volt style headlights which is why they fit so badly

you can get proper 12 volt ones that fit right and dont cover up half the headlight lense but hardly anywhere seems to sell them
