Any Headlight Modification?
I have a 94' GS300. I have a ton done to my car, but I looking for something different for my headlights. Has anyone done anything different? Even eyelids, but hardly anyone has them because they are expensive and hard to come by. Has anyone made their own eyelids some how, if so how and what did you use. Or let me know if there is anything else I can do. Thanks!

take a stencil of your headlight. the 94 should be easier cuz the headlight is flatter than the newer ones. draw your own "eyelid" in any shape you like. take some strong tape (3M or decal tape), spray paint the tape the same color as your cars. turn the original stencil backwards so you get the same thing for the other side. now you have eyelids.

hmmmm....yeah, that could work...but it'll look pretty cheap...good enough for a Honda Civic though...
The RIGHT way to do it is the cover your headlights with wax (or Saran Wrap) and then do some fiberglassing...layer it until it's decently thick (w/o being too thick) ...let it dry, then cut it to the proper shape...sand/finish it, then paint it on BOTH sides. You can get fancy and make it so that it can be bolted in to the head light unit somewhere (I suggest factory bolt locations...don't make new ones!) or do what 99% of the them do, use automotive grade double stick tape...
