I ordered a set of eyelids for my B5.5 and am curious about the fitment. The outer side has a big "tab" that doesn't allow for proper fitment. It looks like you have to remove the headlight and install the eyelid and then reinstall the headlight....BUT, the fender will interfere with the "tab" if it is done this way. Don't mind the mismatched paint...I ordered them painted and not sure why they didn't paint them the correct color, even though I gave them the right code!
Already tried turning it every which way, both headlights. It will only "fit" the way that i have it orientated in the pictures. If the "tab" wasnt on the top toward the outter side, it looks like it would fit. You can tell in the second picture how the eyelid would taper toward the outer edge and be fatter near the grille side.
Now that is just a silly question. Ebay of course.
Looks like you have the part oriented correctly as far as the L or R. You just need to adjust the alignment angles to the headlight. See the picture from the Ebay vendor.
When I ordered my badgeless grill, there was an extra tab on the top that interfered with fitment and installation. I just cut it off and perfect fit. My stock one didn't have the tab there anyway.
