Re: Head Light Eyelids


Hi

Glad you liked the softguard. Its a original Nissan item and did come as a packet deal with the side steps (which I needed for the kids). One can buy "extensions" around the fog lamps which will enhance "the meaty look" even more emoticon

Not to get too off-topic, I do not think the photo gives full credit to the AX eyelids. They are tacked on with blue-tac (the car is one day old), which gets hard and less "tacky" when its cold. So when the AX eyelids are glued on i expect an even better alignment and look.

The AX eyelids is the piece of "car cosmetica" with the best value/money ratio that I know of.

Jan (Happy new Xtrail owner) emoticon

Question about the "alignment" of the eyelids emoticon

did you install them with the bonnet up or down ? (I have a bonnet protector attached).

does one way make it any easier to "align" them ? seems to be a bit of adjustmet available ????

Thanks

Hi Roger,
I would put them on with the bonnet down to get the correct gap and also the height to the bonnet and once in place tape it with masking tape to hold it firm while it sets

Re: Head Light Eyelids


Roger,

Install them with the bonnet down, so you can leave the same gaps at the top of the eyelids (between their edge and the bonnet edge) to match the existing gap between the fender edge and the bonnet.

If you push them too high on the headlight, the bonnet might clip and damage them when you open it and close it.

The bonnet protector will make no difference to the alignment.

Noel has posted excellent photos illustrating the gap at the top of the eyelids with bonnet closed. Have a look at them HERE

Taping them overnight as Dave correctly stated is highly advisable to ensure they won't move while the glue sets in.

Thanks, guys.

A spirt of warmer weather here this week might enable me to get them on before it turns cold again.

Cheers

The "AUSSIE EYES" are on Newfoundland-Labrador, Canada.
