Do a search for "shorty" eyelids. Those are the ones you are referring to. For neons, there are pretty much only two types: "s-style" and "shorties". Other than that, people have made one-off customs like seen above.

:hello1:

Yeah, mine are starting to peel off actually, but when I decide to tear them off, I'll make a stencil line around the current ones and paint the next ones on. :twisted:

Mine have bubbles and holes in them. When I can acquire some carbon fiber cloth, I'm going to trace them out and make my own carbon fiber ones. :twisted:

Uh, well, you can't really put eyelids on those headlights because of the placement of the turning signals... Unless you did some sort of translucent / tinted ones.

just wire your turn signal to the three led's on the sides and use the top light as maybe a daytime running light or just not wire it up at all.

shorty eyelids work fine on the projectors Image even if you didnt wire the turn signals to the 3 leds enough of the top bulbs shows so that could be used as a turn signal.

they're from carbonbydesign, the only fitment issue is since they are for the srt hod, theyre is a small gap in the front if you look closely

colormatched most likely, unless u have other black accents i.e. tinted tails, sidemarkers, dark tinted windows. its all ur personal preferences anyway.
