Re: Eyelids. (Jonsi Jonsi S40)
I made my own out of Oracal Vinyl. I can't remember the specific model but just go to Oracal's website and look for one that has good outdoor life. Mine should last 5-8 years, if not it is a breeze to remake them. The hardest part for me was deciding on the shape I wanted, but once that was done it was cake. I applied it wet (sprayed with a little soapy water) so that I could move it around to the position I wanted it, then let it dry. Squeegee out any bubbles or extra water before you let it dry though. It might take a couple tries to get it right but it is worth it. I like it more than any plastic eyelid kit because it is flush with the headlight and body, no sticking out. Being a black car it was super easy to get the right color, but Oracal has a huge color selection to choose from so I'd assume there is one that would be a close match for almost any of Volvo's colors. The vinyl is also fairly inexpensive, it was like $15 for 3 yards, and I have plenty left over for any future projects. I also used the vinyl to cover up the sides of the tails...
Edit: If you prefer the plastic ones they are sold on ebay every now and then for around $30. I've seen a few sets. Just be sure you are buying the right ones, as there are some for the older style S40/V40 as well.
Here is a pic of the front of my car showing the eyelids:
