I was looking for the same thing at the same time Don't want to shell out top dollar for a new set of headlights(in the eyebrow style) so I will probably jump on a set of these.

69 bucks for a set? Feel like that's a little too much. Plus it's barely noticeable.... Don't you guys think?

Well, I think that headlight accents can give the car a more aggressive overall experience (just like lowering the suspension or painting the calipers). But I agree that $69 seems like too much.

That looks amazing on your BSM! Did you paint em or is that the color it comes in?



I do agree that with shipping and painting costs, it is a bit daunting in price.

They come unpainted. Like a matte color. I have a picture of them unpainted (I think)

Definitely want that pic to see the difference, also what did you use to "black out" the corners?

After some googling, there was also a third option: Rieger eyelids.
I can't seem to find a decent picture of them or where to purchase them from... Anyone here know?

Only place I can find them right now is Ebay. Search e82 Amber Gone. Might wanna contact SVconcepts (used to be JLevi) to see if they happen to have anymore laying around. Hope this helps. FYI, mine is the gloss black amber gones.

I like the demon, noticeable but subtle. Pricey, but they look good to me...

There's a couple CF demon eyes on Ebay if you look around too. They were a bit cheaper.
