I think they will actually look better on Euro xenons. Try it, you can always take them off if you.

Why would you put eyelids on headlights you paid more for so you could have the euro clear?


You would cover up the clear??

They are plastic painted to your color car and attached by 3M double stick tape.

Okay, the Eyelids are plastic pieces with 3M double stick tape attached to it. The 3M double stick tape essentially turns the Eyelids into "Plastic Stickers".

Maybe not. Stickers by definition are labels with an adhesive attached to it. Labels by definition are not plastic but paper or cloth. So I was wrong:mad: Either way they still look tacky IMO.
