the molded plastic pulls off but the eyelids are usually not usable after you take them off

The eyelids make the headlights look like Ferrari headlights.

How accurate of a match is the Carbon Flash Metallic to the OEM to match everything else? What about Torch Red are they exact matches? How’s everyone’s matching up to there OEM Paint? Thanks Also does it just stick on to the light and pull off if you don’t like it without screwing up the light?

I did the same thing! Tried vinyl first, and then went to the molded plastic.
The headlights look too big and kinda dorky without them, Can't imagine ever going back to OEM look.

Those are so nice! Finally a solution to cover a scratch that was there before the car was mine...Looks like the previous owner had a big bird or road debris fly into the headlight and not crack it but leave a small scratch in it about an inch long and not too deep that I have yet to be able to remove. Ordering mine today!

When I bought my car, mine had the plastic ones installed. One was chipped on the corner and while I liked the look of them, I wanted to make sure the light was ok. I was able to pull them off fairly easily and cleaned up the lights without issue. They were toast after removal though.
