I don't know if it's my style, I would have to see it on another xB to be honest. I've been thinking about tinting my headlights but hesitate because I don't know if I want to sacrifice light. Your eyelids might be a compromise.

I like it...I think. I need to see the real thing though. I to am thinking of tinting my lights but maybe this would be better.

The issue is going to be that the stock light bulge out from the body sheet metal. Lids serve to make the lights blend more into the body. My fear on a Gen 2 xB is that they will look more "bulgy" Note how they stick out on the sides in this shot:  That would greatly affect the design and shaping of eyelids. If done badly, it would look like a frog, an alligator, or some massive lizard. |

Tartanjack, you made me spit pop out on my desk ., and you do make a good point. They look nice on paper, but we'll have to see them installed. |

thanks for your input.. the lowers are torwing the whole thing off.. we are holding off doing the lowers .. here are the pics of the nish eyelides that were never made.. there will be similar to these but have more flow into the hood lines.. not just flat..    |

Those look much better than I would have expected!
I'd love to see a shot that shows the "off" angle of how it resolves the bulge area.

I like the uppers. I think the lowers could have potential but don't like having the curved cutout. I realize its for light flow from the headlight but I never like ones like that. Would rather it be thinner and straight then have the cutout in it.

I like it. If they come in the car colors, I'll like them more.

Uppers only, and make the ends towards the grill curve down slightly lower than the rest of the eyelid to give it a more aggressive look.
No need to make them in any color than black since that is what I need!!! lol
