Are eyelids universal?

I know there are specification between the years. Its just that I've seen some "cooler" ones for the +03. Just wondering if they would line up?

srt eyelids are a tad shorter.

How so? 03+ lights are all the same, regardless of what trim Neon it was.Ntyvirus1 wrote:srt eyelids are a tad shorter.
OP - There are several different styles of eyelids. Figure out which style you prefer first. Then decide if you'd prefer vinyl or FG. I've never had problems with vinyl, but others will swear against it for life. Then, look up some people on here with eyelids, both 00-02 and 03+, check fitment, brand, cost, etcc...and base a decision off of a fair compromise of all those.

^^^ Agreed. 03+ lamps are all the same. I haven't seem eyelids that take the different hood design into consideration.

Maybe he meant that they are shorter compared to the 00-02 neons.
But yeah, you need to check out Glasswars or 2005.Neon.SXT cars and look at their projector headlights with the SRT eyelids. It looks shitty because it doesn't fit correctly.
What year neon do you have?

I'd have to guess an 00-02 if he's asking if 03+ eyelids could be used.

00-02 eyelids have a different shape than the 03+ IIRC
And arent the SRT ones shorter because of the hood??
Projectors have a different shape than the stocks.
Anyone please correct me if im wrong

Anyone please correct me if im wrong

exactly, srt eytelids on a regular 03+ hood leave you a little gap.jetas wrote:00-02 eyelids have a different shape than the 03+ IIRC

Is there a gap on stock lights w/ the srt eyelids? Maybe the projectors cause the gap.
I don't see why srt ones would be different when they are the exact same headlights.

"SRT" eyelids are a myth. You either buy "S-Style" eyelids or "Shorties." Plus, YOU apply them, so YOU can match them right up with the hood if you so desire.
Look on SRTForums. Some line up, some don't. It's all about applying them. Vinyl will lay flat on headlights, and can look good if done right IMO. FG will leave gaps simply because they are designed for 03+ Neons and SRT Neons

Yea, my bad. I have an 02 sxt. And I was just wondering cuz I've seen different styles. I've never really paid attention to them but they look purrty koo. So there's only two styles then, rite? Shortys and "S" style...... I guess I'll take the time to look over some pics. Thanks guys......
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 12:00 pm
I think there's another style or two besides the shorties and "S" style.

Switch to an 03+ bumper, S style eyelids on an 02 headlight look like shit. I'm not a fan of shortys either...

I'm not a fan of the shortys either. Anyone got pix of "S" style on 00-02??

the srt hood is shorter, thats why theres a gap when u put an srt hood on a regular 03+ bumper. if you look at the picture i posted the eyelids are lined up exactly with the outside of the hood and i have the small gap in teh front.FAC3L3SS wrote:"SRT" eyelids are a myth.
