No effect Doc. The entire top of the headlamp unit contains the bulb. You also have the side marker lamps for turn signals (and in my case the nifty LED mirror signals)....

Wow... that sucks!
I had some eyelids repainted and waited 24 hours for them to cure. Apparently, looks like 24 hours wasn't enough for some of them. How deep are the bubble marks embedded into the paint? If it's not too bad, a good polish should be able to take care of the problem. If the marks are deeper, however, things may get more complicated to fix. It could be as easy as getting new clearcoat on, or as bad as getting the eyelid repainted. This is all part of the learning process for me, I guess. I'm going to be waiting for at least 48 hrs from now on before I ship these. Also, I might also change the packaging material, since apparently it's not helping matters much either. I'm really sorry for these problems, guys. I guess there are 2 ways to get this remedied: Either I reship new eyelids to you, which will take some time (24 hours to get them painted + 48 hours to cure + 24-48 hours to show up at your door), or you can get them repainted at your local body shop. They already have the color they need to get it matched, so it really shouldn't get them long at all to get done. Of course, price is another issue. I would need you guys to let me know how much they would charge to repaint. I am willing to help out however I can, but I really don't have much money left over, so I would really appreciate some help from your side in order to minimize costs as much as possible. I am available as always through PM or IM, so please let me know if you have any comments/concerns/suggestions. Thanks again for your understanding!

Do you think that only the clearcoat surface has been affected, or the paint as well?

It shouldn't cost too much for something this small, but I really can't say for sure.
Another idea would be to place the eyelids in an oven for a few minutes. That should loosen up the rough areas and evenly distribute the paint. Of course, this would have to be done at very low temperatures so as to not burn the eyelids up. This may also mean that the double-sided tape on the bottom may become unusable after this procedure. I've been trying to contact the painter, but he's not available at the moment. My suggestion then would be for you guys to hold off on doing anything to the eyelids until he tells me what should be done to fix them properly.
