Thank you. The headlights are actually my favorite part of my car. They are Lamin-X film. I did install them myself. The hardest part is getting it to go over the hump on the versa's headlights. I installed 2 sets and both kept messing up on the hump. It keeps bubbling back up. I actually fixed this by buying the eyelids and cutting the part of the tint off that the eyelids covered. Looks a lot better that way. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.

Im keeping my headlights OEM(unless I decide to blackhouse them) but I have to give you the credit...you did a great job. Most people tint their headlights and thats it, but you went the extra mile and got the eyelids. Front looks alot cleaner.

I tried to Black out my housings a while back and failed to get them apart. I talked to a couple people over at Micro Image and they gave me some great suggestions on how to get them apart. I plan on giving it a try maybe on Tuesday since I have Wednesday and Thursday off of work. If I succeed I will post up a DIY because the ony NICO has with the dremel isn't very "realistic" for most of us.

I have those eyelids as well. I love them! Makes it look great.

not a problem man. just wanted to make sure I replied to your message. Thanks a lot. I will be doing the headlight tint again sometime. When I cut the tint to put the eyelid on I cut one side a little too low. so there is a small gap between the eyelid and the tint that is not covered. nobody has noticed it but I know it is there and it drives me nuts seeing it. Guess I'm a little OCD.

buy eyelids from there. They are super easy to install. I installed mine with double sided tape. The instructions say use double sided tape or silicone (items not included).

Looks pretty good. I'd get rid of the chrome though.
