haha yea, its pretty simple. remove the backing from the adhesive and apply it over the headlight. just make sure the surface is clean before you stick it on.

Is that all it is, a sticker? I thought it was like a plastic cover, because i remember seeing something that looked like a cover on ebay. There are probably different types, but what do you guys think, do the stickers turn out good. I would imagine they're cheap

The real TRD eyelids are made out of urethane, like plastic. They have a double sided tape on the bottom side that you peel away and install. There are also fiberglass copies, half eyelids (made of urethane or carbon fiber), and vinyl overlays made by a member here named blue batmobile.

Or you could go with a set of these. I personally like this. That's what I'm getting. Not too overpowering, but still makes that statement.
