LCI Style Black Lids!!! For pre lci

I REALLY do like these! It is subtle and on a black car, with full black out lights and indicator lens removed. Works quite well i think!!!

Could look shite in person... But could be worth a punt?

BUT where do you get them?
I know Bimmian do white ones

i dont think it will look good in person IMO - simply because its a case of sticking something in/on the light and will just look a little tacky!

i think they look fine as standard!

Just trying to mix it up and make the angels look more aggressive.
They could look tacky, but if they are stuck on well and made of decent material...you may not even notice.

They copy the LCI look too much and do not work on a blacked out car as well.

Any ideas where people get these versions?
Anyone EVER come across anything like this on the ebay or where ever?

Cheers for input lads!

I have it on mine. I get compliments all the time. Doesn't look tacky at all, even tho I initially thought it might.

I echo what Sumil said, I am not a fan of stick on brows to lenses, but each to their own.

Mate shall we buy a set. Go halves on them, and then go down to surrey projects and ask them to make them for us using Bimmian one as a template?

What ever we use, it would have to be a material which DOESN'T let light through
But i am unsure if you can stick vinyl to plastic...

I know mate, but on a Full black out headlight with a black brow, it may be quite subtle... and the difference it will make to the angel eyes could make it look very aggressive...

WORST CASE just rip them off...

yeah i'm good with that... i don't even think you need to stick it on top... you can use the frosted white one as a template to cut out a vinyl? it'll be like school arts and crafts

only thing is do we use a gloss black or matte black or satin black or frosted black vinyl lol... im thinking gloss black because the headlight cover is meant to be shiny?

Yea thats what i meant.. use the bimmian as a template.

I am definitely going gloss for myself... You could try matte as your paint is matte finish... Maybe even try the blue you already have haha could look Funky Fresh
