So I have this idea that i thought someone could help me with. I’m getting a C32 AMG this summer, and i have this dream of having these headlights with an eyelid that covers the top part of the headlight (see image below). The problem is that I really don’t want the ”seam” between the hood and the headlight to be visible. Is it even worth trying to accomplish? If so, please hit me up if you have any idea/solution. Note that the turn signal does not have to be visible.
(This photo is not taken by me, but the crude painting of the headlight is done by me)
Interesting idea. I don't know of any realistic way to have that seam not visible, so maybe just go for something that isn't trying to blend into the hood. Not sure about it myself, but I guess if it were me, I would first try some colored duct tape and a razor blade to see how it would look. I've heard the front lenses of our headlight assemblies can be separated (though I'm not sure they are meant to be), if you have a way to seal them back on. If you liked the look you could mask off and paint the rear of the lenses. Back in the day on watercooled VWs we used to use model window tint in the small spray cans, to smoke headlights/taillights. Ideally done from the inside, it probably won't last long applied to the outside. I got curious enough to see what tinted eyelids might look like on mine, so I quickly photoshopped it:
