Eyelids on Sedan?

Does anyone have headlight eyelids for their sedan?

I remember looking for these earlier, but there were none for the 07-09 front end style but I just saw that Autokits has some now. They seem solid, and I would probably get them in fiberglass then paint it myself.

Any thoughts? Is it too ricey lol

Man I wish there was a picture of them installed. It's hit or miss tbh. Don't know what they'll look like.

The accent stripes painted in the headlights looks much better if you plan to open them up.

Newt beat me to it.

OP, reasearch ONEighty and their signature painted eyelid on the inside of the headlight lens. It fits the overall design better than any glue-on eyelid ever could.

The shape of the headlights don't really fit well with eyelids. Works alright on the original g35 coupe and 350z, but on a newer one.... eh..

These specific ones from Autokit look great not applied to headlights. Personally I agree with Rochester, ONEighty is my next big purchase after airflow mods. They take very good care of you and are top notch in detail. Painting an eyelid inside of the housing is more discreet, clean, and overall appealing. It is top $ but the quality and masterpieces they create is over the top quality.

Hmm that's actually a great idea painting the inside. I already opened up my headlights and painted them, I wish I would have thought of that. Not sure if I have a steady enough hand to pull it off though lol.

Also I don't think that picture does the eyelids justice. It's a very stock sedan.. on 17's especially and from my research I believe that is a different vendor that came out with them around 2007 in Russia when the 2nd gens first started.

Edit: These are my headlights right now, I took the picture when the sun was setting and with garage lights on so it looks kind of dull with the reflection here:
