I think if your car has no eyelids, put ring at the bottom, if it has eyelids, put the ring at the top. Given that you're getting eyelids Keiran you should have put the ring at the top nigguh

Na I don't think so because then at eye level you would still be able to see the gap, bottom looks the best.

No you don't, only if you're down at the headlight level, as in crouching down and looking at it just below eye-level with the headlights (which in my car would be pretty low as it is). At all other angles you can't see it so it looks much better at the top with eyelids...

EDIT: Keiran how often do you spend your time on your knees geez... :roll:

I'm not sure the eyelids will be a permanent thing on my car either, I might not like them.

Also if Cruisn says the bottom looks best, I don't try question him. 8)

And you are overstating this "gap" too because you can't really even see it.

And even just looking at your avatar I can tell the gap would be visible above eyeline with the eyelids on.

I never overstated any gap?? I just said that the eyelids would cover it...

And I highly doubt you won't like the eyelids they are pretty sexy :wink:

Yeah well my first set broke while being shipped to PHAT so it's been 5 weeks since I ordered and I will be lucky to get the new set by next week, so I'm kind of over them already :lol:

What do you mean blacking out the headlights? All the painting being done is in those pictures.

I may be mistaken but the process where the actual headlight cover itself it blacked out??

Do you mean tinting the headlights? Would be pointless.

No some process involving a microwave and baking the headlight...

You'd need a massive microwave to fit it in.....

I think you may be referring to putting the headlight in the oven to soften the glue if you dont have a heat gun.
