new method for making eyelids STAY!

Well... i had my eyelids on with 3M double sided mounting tape for about 5 days.. and then they started peeling up and about to fall off.... soooooooo... i noticed that the tape stuck like no other to the head lamps.. but not at all to the eyelids... this is what you do -- get the lid on as good as you can and line it up with the tape, like it should be to be held on with the tape.. then pull it up gently and apply a stip of hotglue (hotglue gun of course... dur! ) --- i didn't know if it would work or not... but since the 3m tape is so stuck to the headlamps.. and the glue sticks to anything -- it pulled the eyelids snug against the headlamps and now they are on there tight as anything!! -- just make sure you put the hot glue on the tape -- if you get any on your headlamps -- just wait for it to dry and then peel it off -- use soap and water or googone to get any smears off ---

Hope this helps! ( note, not proof read or anything, so my spelling prolly sucks! )

eww.. -- haha -- the whole point of em is to make your headlamps look thinner and better looking --- putting black there will just make them stand out (if thats what you are lookin for, then go for it!) -- dont let other people make decisions for you, its your car --- we are simply here to give advice and share opinions!!
