Default bluebat's side markers

I wish to get them but does anyone know if I can install them even though I have the CF eyebrows already on? Or would I have to remove the eyebrows, put the bluebat's side markers overlay on, then put the eyebrows on top?

Thanks,
C.

You can always cut it if it'll go over the eyebrows.

^^that too but there's the risk of light escaping and being noticable.

these eyelids already suck at sticking....if I lift them I might as well take them off and put new adhesive on them then put the sidemarkers overlay and then put eyebrows back in

if it's because they are dirty you might be able to get away with washing them gently with warm soapy water that should make them stickier.

The headlights you mean or the back of the eyelids? But it's prob because we installed it in cold weather so no heat to facilitate the sticking

The sticky part of the eyelids and it being cold should not effect it

lol that's for tomorrow when u call carlos to ask for a price quote can u ask for the inidivual ones too? Like how much to put tail overlays only, how much to put sidemarkers only, how much for only mirror turn signals AND then a price for all 3 together?

Also could you ask him about the eyebrow can he put a new THIN sheet of adhesive and re-sticky them (he knows about the issues I had with it not sticking 100%).

I've pulled a couple off to redo them and they haven't even left any adhesive behind. Just start peeling and maybe add a little bit of heat as needed. Clean it as you normally would.

As for installing with eyelids... it depends on where the eyelids are exactly, but I have bat's silver eyelids and have smoked my sidemarkers twice now with them on there - no issues. I realize they're just vinyl and yours are actual CF, but still, they shouldn't be in the way too much.

I'm not sure if this helps you or not, but here's mine and you can kind of make out the line of the sidemarker as well...
