Fixing eyelid gap

Well -- i put my eyelids on today and they fit great, sept for at night i noticed light shines through a little bit at the top, so it looks kinda wierd... if any one else has this problem -- a few sticks of electrical tape over the top of the headlamps stops it from shining through ------ just place one alone the edge of the top of the lid, and then one right behind that piece -- works great!!

Anyways, just thought i'd help out if anyone didn't notice that yet!

use a little touch up paint between the gap or go to any decal place and just buy a few strips of whatever color vinyl your car is and put those on. The light will still kinda shine through however it wont look bad and it's a very mute shine through.
