Camry Eyelid Installation? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

***Durrby*** · 04-19-2005, 01:45 PM

Ok so yesterday I finally recieved my eyelids from the group buy we had. But i'm a little perplexed on how to put them on. First of all I was expecting to recieve 2 exact cut pieces and it came with 4 and 2nd, 2 pieces are one size and the other 2 are larger. I thought they were supposed to be a "direct fit" and and extremely easy to install. I've gotten a few views on what to do in the group buy forum, but I thought i'd ask here to get some more thoughts on what to do here. I wanna know what I should do before I go to a body shop around my way and have them primer and paint them. Here are some pics of what they look like below. Sorry for the poor quality but they were taken with my cellphone.

Well, just use the ones that fit your light?

Are they real carbon fiber???

^^^There not the CF ones, there the Polyeurethene (sp?) Paintable Ones. It's just black and has a 3D shape to it instead of a flat black.

so, any idea of how they go on?? is one of them big enough to cover all the whole headlight?

the smaller set of 2 is kinda. it's honestly not even the correct shape. you have to contort the eyelid to fit correctly. then there's still nothing covering the corner light!

Well I did a mock fitting just now and am disappointed...They don't fit properly to me. The way there are right now is the best way there gonna fit and well it doesn't. Here are some pics of them...

I know right. I knew I wasn't going crazy. And are they CF or what, I don't think so because it says it's supposed to look like that, but others said theres was a flat black and also so many people are just confusing them for the CF ones.

To me it looks like they're for the Gen 3 and not Gen 3.5. But the corner lamps still wouldn't fit on the Gen 3.

okey from making mine the ones on the left of your pic go on top of the light and the others go on the lens of the light. the narrow part should go to the fenders
