Hi - I purchased a pair of ABS plastic eyelids, and the vendor recommended 3M double-sided tape. I looked online and there is a wide selection available - but I am not sure which one will work best - It must stay on at freeway speeds. Anyone install eyelids on their MS3? Thanks for your help!
 
I bought mine at Home Depot if I remember right. Just make sure to clean the headlight so it has a good surface to stick to. I drive the freeway everyday and mine stick just fine.
 
Hi Macabe - thanks for the info - Do you know what part # 3M tape you used? I looked at a 3M link, and there is a full page
of double-side tapes that are available. Ie: 5962-62, 4956F-62, etc. Pretty confusing. Also, can you post some pics of your eyelids? Thanks!
 
I used "3M Super Strong Automotive Attachment Tape - 03609" for mine. I had some laying around and they have been on for a year, highway driving at 70+ MPH and haven't even moved.

Thanks for the info Avenger_MZ3 - I still have not put them on.. If for some reason I want to remove them, can they be removed without damaging the headlight lens cover? Or.... can I go to my local Mazda dealer and purchase a 2nd set of lens covers, or do I have to buy the whole headlight assembly?
