for the IS it looks better without them but if they do start making them, i suggest that the part of the eyelid closest to where the grille and hood meet should stop at that line so it gives the eyelid a nice clean transition across the light. the way it is now is too far down imo.

Aggressive? prevent fading? I don't see any of those. I think it makes it look less aggressive. Not a fan of eyelids in general, but I think a good eyelid should change the shape of the headlight, I don't know how to explain it, but I can't really understand the shape of the headlight with those eyelids, it's not even straight.

These follow the hood line as stated above. That's why they flow better.

lol! you would think that, but for some reason the IS headlights only fade on the top part, "Dont ask me why" the front of the headlight is never faded.
