I sent an email requesting the price for 2 (or 1 pair) of eyelid headlights. This might take awhile, can anyone just give me an estimate on how much you think it will cost. Also, if there are any other sites that offer lights like this, can you give me a link to those too.

Thanks in advance.

Alright, i found some for $40 but i have to wait.

If they are unpainted, are they just plain white like my car, or are they just some other color and i still have to get it glossed and everything? Also, is the installation pretty basic, or should i get a professional to do it.

youll have to get them painted to match your car and you use 3m double sided tape for the install so i have faith in you abilities to do the install.

How much do you think it would cost to get it painted white and to get it installed on my car?

Or do you recommend me painting it myself and installing it myself?

Not just regular tape though. It's a foam like putty.

My eyelids cost me $50 and $65 for painting. Took about 3 weeks to get. I went to Home Depot to get the 3M double sided tape. When you see it in the package it will have a red backing. Just completely cover the underside of the eyelids with the tape, then remove the red paper and stick on the headlights. Make sure you get it right the first time though.
