Eyelid Design Ideas (concept photos)

I am currently working on designing a set of Eyelids for the TSX. I have been trying a couple different sketch ideas and so far these are the two I like the most. I would like to hear from others on whether or not you like the designs or what you would like to see in the final design. Here are the first two concept ideas.

Design 1


Design 2

design 1 is nice .. but that takes away the TSX's unique-ness. after the lid .. it'll look like the TL's headlight

me neither. this looked good on some VW's because the headlight was completely contained on the front of the car. But with our wrap-arounds, it just doesn't fit with the body lines.

I'd rather see some high beam angel eyes and a clear corner.

the other option would be to create somthing to cover the entire front of the light other than the three circles for the light. I can photoshop that if any would want to see it

Why not get a Sharpie and "draw" in the eyelids?

are you serious. I am not really sure what the point would be plus they would be much more costly to make.

my JDM headlights are coming today so sometime in the next two weeks they will get put in after the dealer replaces my defective factory one. then I can start molding the eyelids on my factory headlights should have a prototype in a month or so and then I can get some pricing quotes and see how much interest there will be for them.
