^^ Dude I am telling you, NBP from paintscratch is not as good as NBP you would expect. I personally would rather use the black I have since its very glossy and gives you the desired results. If I was you I'd just cancel the order with them and save yourself the $25.

Any problems wiring the CCFLs? How did you wire them? I take you wired them separate from the parking lights?

No problem at all with Kennedy's help! They are wired to the wiper motor wire for now. I love the look.

Dude i thought paintscratch NBP was would come out smoother and cleaner looking than regular high gloss paint? Any pictures of headlights that used NBP from paintscratch?? Can i still cancel this order if its already in transit???

Damn, I bought that paint thinking it would come out best...

Jnc have you recieve the headlights yet ?? I'm starting to worrie. Lights were shipped 7/14/08 vea USPS. I will check to see if the box was scanned upon delivery. Hopefully it didn't get lost in transit or that someone took off with it. Packages get picked up alot. I know I work for the post office as a carrier. Anyway insured packages always get scanned once they are dropped off at the address.

Are you talking about the turn signal reflector? Because the turn is painted and only a small bit is left unpainted as I usually do leave it like that. BTW I thought you asked for the foglight nipple to be colormatched and the rest to be painted as I paint my other sets.

yea i asked for the nipple cuz thats the only thing i forgot to ask u about. as for the turn signal reflector i did want it blacked out. i mean i still looks really nice and it was the only thing i was unsure of just because of less light output.
If there is nothing you can do about it i still want them i was just trying to get more of a blacked out look.

I haven't wired the CCFLS yet, they are just dangling on the ballast in my engine bay. I am trying to wire them to two different places, one at the wiper motor so it will be on when the engine turns on, and one at the dom interior lights so that it comes on/off when i unlock/lock my car. I will have to use a relay kit to do the double function.

oh yea one of the ccfl rings has a millimeter crack on it....I guess its the glass part or the white part under the glass, but will that be a problem in the future? It lights up rite now but i'm worried about the crack.

^If the CCFLs were cracked then they wont light up, its not a crack that you are looking it but indeed is a bit where the white coating on the ccfl has come off and it looks like a crack. I noticed that as well so I fired them up before installing them to make sure they were not damaged.
