Volkswagen T4 Transporter 1990-2003 Headlight Eyelids Straight Hood (2 pcs)

Headlight eyelids for Volkswagen T4 Transporter with a straight hood — two ABS plastic trims for the upper edge of the square headlights. The website offers the “Matte black” shade with a matte texture; the trims are glued on with windshield adhesive sealant, no body drilling is required. Manufacturer — Digital Designs.

Which T4 are these eyelids for: straight or slanted hood

Volkswagen T4 from 1990–2003 were produced with two different front ends, and for eyelids this is the main thing:

• straight hood (“straight front”) — square rectangular headlights and a short straight hood; these eyelids are made for it;
• slanted hood (“slanted front”) — slanted headlights and a tilted longer hood; there are separate eyelids for T4 with a slanted hood for it.

Eyelids for the two front ends are not interchangeable, and the model year is not a reliable guide here: it’s better to look at the headlight shape. If you’re unsure, send the manager a photo of the front end — the correct option is identified unambiguously from it.

Material, color, and package contents

• shade — matte black, matte texture;
• material — ABS plastic;
• package contents — 2 trims, left and right;
• installation type — windshield adhesive sealant;
• manufacturer — Digital Designs.

The matte black surface does not glare and matches well with the T4’s black grille and moldings. The eyelids are purely decorative: they change the “look” of the headlights and make the van’s front end more expressive — in German-speaking countries this kind of tuning is called “böser Blick” (evil look).

How to install eyelids on T4 headlights

1. Wash the headlights and the area above them, degrease the bonding areas.
2. Test-fit the trims “dry” and mark the position so they sit symmetrically.
3. Apply windshield adhesive sealant in a thin bead to the inner side of the trim.
4. Press the eyelids into place and secure with masking tape until the adhesive fully cures.

Installation is simple and can be done on your own. Some owners use high-quality 3M double-sided tape instead of sealant — the main thing is that the surface is clean and degreased.

Matte ABS is washed along with the car using regular car shampoo. Abrasive compounds and headlight polish are not applied to the eyelids — they leave shiny spots on the matte texture. During touchless washing, do not hold the jet right up to the edge of the trim so as not to pry up the adhesive seam.

What to pair the eyelids on a straight-hood T4 with

For the same front end, there is the EuroCap hood deflector for straight headlights and the upper winter grille cover in versions for the straight and slanted front.
