I cant help on the Hellas, the most I can wire up is systems, haven't tried lights yet, as for the eyelids, you can use your niteshade stuff or get some other paint, here is my thread when I did my eyelids: (I bought the paint that match the truck)

niteshades will almost always allow a little light through. if you want it completely transparent, use a couple coats of paint.
the hellas mount to the crossmember right behind the bumber and wiring is SUPER easy.

well theres a couple ways to go about it. its kind of a choose your own adventure. if you've ever wired anything before, this is no different.
the directions come with the lights, but if you need me to draw up a wiring schematic i can. do you plan on using a relay? do you want them to turn on with the high beams or just with their own switch. do you want them to be able to turn on when the truck is off?

they are definently not legal to drive with. the only time i ever use mine is if im in the middle of nowhere and its really dark with NO other cars around. they literally make your high beams disappear. I dont recommend wiring them to your fog lights.
As for the eyelids. You're better off using paint if you want it opaque. Even if you ue a whole can of VHT, you're still gonna get some light through.
