How to install Eyebrows?

Should i just use the double sided tape that came with the eyebrows or should i put some other type of tape so they can stick to the eyebrows and the headlight better... cause the double sides tape that came with the eyebrows dont seem so ticky and it seems like it might come offf....thanks

I used 3M velcro strips.....because that way you can clean under the light and remove them if needed.....I thought the mounting tape was a bit to perminent for me...anyway just look at my ride to see the results..peace!..BTW...it want come off..easliy anyway..so don't worry!...just use quality velcro and adhesion

it is up to you. The double stick tape will come off with a little heat and pulling eventually. Then you can clean the lights. If you want them removable like allman's that is cool, but watch out, they might get stolen. My double stick tape that came with the lights was fine. You can buy more at any store if you think that is a problem. Just push really hard.

Ask AceKicker about eyebrows. He was on the way to STN this weekend after just finishing installing his freshly painted eyebrows. Well, while going down the interstate, I guess one got some wind under it and he said it lifted right off the light and flew off the car. Oops. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

IMO, I think the eyebrows look kind of cheap on the 7th gens. The headlights really aren't big enough to 'accomidate' them. On the 6th gen, the look half-way decent.

Our headlights are pretty big, they 'accomidate' our cars very well, 6th gen looks great with eyebrows especially on projectors,

No,..the thickness of the velcro actually helps due to the recess in the eyebrow design....the velcro actually fills the void up better than the 3m tape does...I tryed both and the eyebrow's contour and the headlight didn't allow the 3M tapeto stay attached very well and kept comming off with water......Peace!

be careful on the heat though. it might melt the sticky side and ur brows might fall while ur driving. it happened to my kaminari decal.
