woo hoo all my hard work paid off. That wasn't my best work and it was pretty annoyingly difficult to put on but they I would say reduce about 80% of the glare oncoming traffic must put up with when you get HIDs.

**The highbeams are still perfectly functional, and still light up the road without any change. **

I'm sure it's a change from nothing at all, but it won't help all of the glare you might get. Some of that glare is probably reflected from the bottom of the housing and then up.

But it's good that it's an improvement for you - if even just by not getting flashed anymore.

True but from all the angles I've seen it and at different possitions from a wall you can tell that most of the glare reflected from the bottom of the housing illuminates the trees above and not the cars in front.

I would say with how the light is dispersed from the OEM housing compared to the non-hid projectors people put hid in are about the same, except this is alot cheaper.

well, these eyelids are definitely more for function then form, they just dont flow with the lights, maybe with paint, or perhaps if the inside corners were to point further down like the tch1d, i really wouldnt care about my high beams, i cant remember the last time u used them in 8 months of having the tC

Yeah I was playing with the idea of just smoking the whole headlights so the eyelid would be less noticable yet still functional. I don't think they look that bad and they probably would look good with smoked side markers instead of just having half of them covered.

Thats nice that they work but i think the older ones flow with the body lines of the car a bit better, either way thats good that someone is going out of there way to help from blinding others.

they are available in all of bluebats colors as a two layer version I think, but I felt that black looked better with my theme (silver/black)

There you go, as you can see it is not a perfect cut off the glare is significantly reduced.

Ha... this one isn't so bad. I remember a while back there was a set of eyelids someone made (not sure if they were bat's or not) and the car looked stoned off of it's ___... like just plain baked.

It was bluebat's experiment with another sl-er can't remember who though.

Yeah it looks a million times better than the last time.

Another great kit from Bat™.

Hey Bat, wouldn't it be a good idea if you'll make the eyelids a little bit angry like the tch1d's? Maybe call it tch1e? Just for those people who loves the "mean" look. Just my 0.02.
