Im just wondering, what are all these other eyelids made out of? I looks like a thick vinyl adhesive. But you never can tell in pictures.

Im thinking the problem with the lenses being tinted wit lino is, the light is going to shine through at night, and it will almost be transparent at night. I would think, being that close to the light source...

I stopped my tint guys place this morning, and grabbed some scrap limo tint, and cut out a piece, just to see what it would look like. Looks freaking great. I think im going to get HIDs, without projectors, then use my eyelids as a cutoff...

you think the hid's will still go through the darkest tint the place can offer? I mean i'm sure its possible but i would like that to be a cut off too so i don't need to adjust the lense so it won't blind people.

Im thinking it would. I know there have been times when Ive been able to slightly see through my back window looking in, just from lights from my drilling rig location at night. So Im thinking these HIDs are much brighter, and with the tint so close, it will definitely bleed through.
