New Headlights
Still trying to find an easy way to add pics here, it's been many years since I have done it. Anyway, here are a couple of the new headlights...I didn't think black lights would look very good with this color.
I got the lights from Umnitza (?) and a wiring harness from Radio Flyer. I think the lights look great.! I am having a small issue with the function of the driving lights "L". They quickly flash when I turn on a turn signal (only with the headlights off, with headlights on, everything is OK), I have ordered a couple resistors to hopefully fix the problem, I have been told that will do it (?). It's always something!

Who painted them? Color match looks well done.

The lights are painted by us (our painter) as part of the order. Also included as part of this order were our Zen6 clear lenses instead of the standard lightly smoked ones that come with the original Morimoto xB headlights.

Well, i wasn't that far off, but no way I'd have guessed crystal
CRM is going to be a 3 stage paint, so probably a little more than the average paint, but I don't think it's any more or less than the carlisle we just did, certainly more than the yellow we just finished.
Would you like to start the process via PM or email? info@Umnitza.com @info@umnitza.com for PM.

Torch I think is also a tint coat color, so probably another 3 stage, but maybe get away with a 2 stage, not sure on that one. We did another torch red a while back for just a replacement set (customer brought in some black OEM ones and asked to match his car)

I'll try and get some better pics soon. The weather is supposed to improve greatly over the next few days. It was very overcast and trying to rain when I took these first ones. I also want to get some pics with just the driving lights on in the daylight to compare the brightness of some "others" if I can get some "others" to reply with some pics of their car with the driving lights on also. I should have your wires by then, but the resistors that I ordered probably won't be here until the first of next week.
