Lookin good. Do you have a pic of the eyelids from further away? I don't think I've seen this yet.

Lots of nice touches. I'm on the fence with the eye lids. How did you wire in the waterfall LED?

Eyelids are intriguing.

I too would be interested in the above questions.

I like the waterfall with Oracle LED emblem - any link to that?

How is the LED part wired in?

I was just going to ask the same thing. I've got a Torch Red '17 Z coming in mid-April and I'd seriously consider that mod for mine.

I like the led waterfall the best. I had eyelids on a Ram pickup about 10 years ago.

I like the diffuser fins. Are they snug and did they fit tight all the way around (no gaps)?

Eyelid Pics

Eyelid Pics (fitment issue on passenger side)

Eyelid Pics

The drivers side is perfect; the passenger side has fitment issues like the other poster documented. I love the look straight on and try not to look at it from the angle that shows the issues.

Eyelids purchased from PFYC.

Yes; fitment is perfect. They supply a template for the install.

Wiring runs under waterfall, under trim along passenger side, through firewall, to the fuse box in the engine bay. A voltage regulator is used to control the power to the LED. The Oracle LED is extremely bright (too bright for inside the vehicle*see pic*).
