Default RAXIOM Smoked headlight covers

I installed them and it doesnt seem like its very sturdy, the bottom comes loose even after a short drive, does anyone have this problem? I used 3M 1LB removable 2 sided tape to hold on the bottom and it seems to hold it in place nicely.

it should hold if you did it right but personally, i would have spray tinted them. you would.t know it fell off till its jammed in your wheel well.

I would have gone with tint or actual smoked lights. The covers just look like something you would see on a modded toyota. No offense. Car looks great though.

You can easily wipe off spray tint with paint thinner....

if you can wipe off the spary tint it probably wont look as good as the covers, I used nightshade b4 and that only looks good if you clear it and once you do that its a lot harder to get off and it fades over time if you dont clear it, also i liked the blacked out look, some one who goes to my gym has a mustang and he has the smoked aftermarket headlights and its not that noticeable of a mod for the money, but thats what i like about these cars so much aftermarket you can be different as long as its in good taste
