If I was to paint it do you guys think it will crack from the heat?
Lets say I use the transparent tinting spray, think itll make a dif?
If paint wont work what is the best way? I dont wanna tape it. Want it to look slick.
P.S. I have xenon headlights (gas discharge)

I flicked through this months copy of Auto Salon and they have a 'how to' on making and a fixing your very own fibreglass eyelids. Buy that magazine and go in peace.

Removable fibreglass ones are a much better idea for the inevitable time when the police give you a defect notice for the illegal detrimental modification of a vehicles safety package.

so what is the point of partially covering the headlights??? to protect the eyes of oncoming drivers? to deliberately make your headlights worse??
am i missing something here? why don't all manufacturers do it when they release the cars??

Its called the RICE factor, no real purpose lust for looks, and cops can get you on it, with the new nsw laws.

Didnt you hear? The car manafacturers have made the lenses to wide (from top to bottom) on all cars (stupid idiots) so I wanna fix it. But rather than tapin it I want to add style while Im at it
