Gen 3 Headlight covers

Hey guys, was wondering, was there ever a black headlight cover for Gen 3 cams?

yep, I'm thinking of the shaded covers; Eyelids, I'd like to see how iovay's turn out before I try it.

Thing is, I've only seen a set advertised for the gen3.5's; Wasn't sure if they'd be compatible with my gen3 (and I'm not about to go and nightshade my headlights... yet)

The only difference that you'll have is that little corner area by the grill, which I'm sure you're aware of.
Just cut that corner area off..
I blew $45 on those GTO style headlight covers and IMO was F'n hard to make the eyelids. I made a mold and everything and I couldn't get the headlight cover to sit flush on the headlight without taking excessive amounts of the original cover off.
The reason being that it doesn't sit flush is that the headlights have a glass nipple on them so the covers actually fit over the whole headlight and the nipple, leaving .5" of space. So you have to work around that by cutting the back, where it hooks onto your headlight.
You're better off laying something over your headlight to protect it, then lay the figerglass mat down and basically paint on the resin.

Was that a jab at my car which just so happens to be named Nightshade?

The headlight covers are actually GT Styling or GTS and you could get the clear ones like I have, and paint or tint the top of them to make an eyelid. Check out My Cardomain to check em out. Pages 6 & 7. They make three colors from what I can tell. Clear, What appears to be a dark brownish color tint. And a smoke tint. Ive also seen a carbon fiberish look cover. Not my cup of tea but.... Chose for yourself.
The item number for a 92- 94 headlight cover for a Camry is GTO744. Hope this helps.

Hm, I'd like to know where you found those. the clear ones seem like an idea, once I clear my lenses, but I dunno about doing a CF lid
maybe after the CF hood

If you check out my cardomain page, lemmi know if those are the smoked covers you guys are talking about. With those, you cant see at night so you have to hop out and remove them.
They're just a pain to remove all the time and i actually only used them for a week. Right now they're under my bed

I like the clear ones. Thats what I got. Ive never seen Wade ones before. I only knew of GT styling. They make 4 different shades including clear light dark and Carbon fiber. The clear ones could be tinted or painted on the top if you wanted eyelids.
