remove bumps on headlights

[tiFreak]

I just bought a set of eyelids for my car but they don't fit over the top little nubby thing on the headlight, does anyone know how to take those off?

[thesk8nmidget]

a grinder.

be slow and careful.

and remember they will be covered by the eyelids

[tiFreak]

I don't have any power tools

[thesk8nmidget]

buy a cheap one at harbor freights or something?

does your shop not have anything?

[tiFreak]

we do but I'm to lazy to go there

[elchicano]

well then your screwed haha But yea a grinder will do it. The one pieces didn't have them so i didn't have to grind anything down.

[thesk8nmidget]

then wait til you work again and do it on your lunch break

[tiFreak]

screw it, I'll try sandpaper

[b.u.ti-ful]

Its just plastic, right?

Do you have a file?

[tiFreak]

ok, I found a sanding drill bit for my dads drill, only problem is the battery was dead, sitting on top of the charger it's charging now, so that's that problem out of the way

does anyone else have the kamei eyelids, I can't figure out how to attach them

[thesk8nmidget]

double sided sticky tape.

clean both surfaces off with rubbing alcohol

[tiFreak]

well, apparently the bumps don't even need to come off, they fit, not perfectly but meh, I'm a stoner what do I care?

I've cut them off with a razor before. You can also cut them off with a kitchen knife. To stick down the eyelids, I used everything. Here is a list of dos and don'ts. I've done it all lol.

One of my carbon fiber eyelids came warped, so I was forced to try everything.
Don't:
Superglue,
Connect eyelid with headlight by dry wall screw(worked but wtf was I thinking?)
Don't just leave them on top thinking the hood will hold them down.
Glue gun.

Dos:
Double sided tape(best solution)
Velcro top of headlight and bottum of eyelids together
Ship them to me so I can use them on my car for free.(2nd best solution)

[tiFreak]

hm, I'm not so sure if I really like that last option

[BMW_Hatchback]

haha which one, the knife option is the cleanest and the least tiresome. you could always send them to me for free, thats pretty painless (on my part)
