I live in Australia and would like to buy some headlight 'eyebrows' for my car. They are very rare to see on cars down here so liked the idea of having something different.

I'm probably going to have to order them from overseas. What are the best type? ABS plastic or fibreglass? How easy are they to fit? Anyone have any suggestions on places I could order them from?

Thanks. :)

I've had the ABS ones on for about 10,000 miles and have had no problems with them, no chips or anything and they're nice and flexible.

They're very easy to fit, takes about 10 minutes including holding them down while the Marvin Medium (definitely the best stuff for sticking these on) dries.

There's no noticeable difference in light output of the headlights so they're the perfect size.

I paid 7 quid a set for 2 sets from a German seller on eBay, plus Ԛ£7 postage so Ԛ£21 in total, the sellers name was plastico_fantastico and I highly recommend him :D

One thing I've gotta say though is that they're too shiny and pick up fingerprints too easily to put on unpainted, you'll have to either paint them the colour of your car (IMO the best way to do it) or spray them matt black to match the headlight surround grilles.

Thanks fellas... I'll definately be getting them painted red the same colour as my car. Ive seen the one's for sale in Australia, don't really like the quality too much though. Think I will buy elsewhere... :)
