here is another option you should know about. These wrap around the edge of the headlight.

I am not a fan of eyelids, however I think the lancers headlights because of their size look better with them.

I like the accolade, but the paint on my hood is all chipping away and it looks like crap.

I dont like the 04-06 style headlights at all stock, the eyelids give it a more square and aggressive look like the 02-03 so i say go with the eyelids. I have rrm cf lids on my 02-03 and I love them.

i got my eyelids before these came out, and they are Accolade. Almost all eyelids have light leak at night, including mine. I like the eyelid look and the accolades were great in quality. If i had to buy new ones tho i would go with the wrap arounds to avoid the light leak.

easy solution to the light leak is to put black electrical tape in the crack between the hood and headlight, personally I wouldnt pay $35 more just to have wrap around eyelids, and also those eyelids by carbon arent molded to shape you see at the top its just a flat piece, ours is molded to shape and fits the contours better.
