I finally got my umnitza angel eyes installed yesterday. It went well but I may have used a bit too much glue on top. (I didn't want the things to fall off).So I'm going to get some eye lids. I was wondering how tall they are and how much of the headlight from the top they would cover. Also are there any advantages/disadvantages between the stick on ones or the carbon fiber ones?Any good recommendations for places to get them online? I'd like for them to come in a similar color to my max so I don't have to get them painted. Thanks.

BTW: I tried taking pictures of them at night but they are too bright and just display as a glare on my camera.

How much is covered depends on which eyelids you get. I'd say around half an inch is a good generalization.

You can just get some body-color vinyl and cut it to make eyelids. Not sure if that suits your needs with the glue mess, though.

In my experience, the stick on ones often don't have the best fitment and can end up looking extremely goofy and conspicuous. They're not all that way, but be keep that in mind when shopping around for them.
