100 is about right. I prefer FedEx over UPS.

What are you looking to get done? Maybe I can help if I have time, unless your lights are already en-route to NY.

Are you planning on running the biz again? or just offering side jobs? I have a spare steering wheel and still trying to figure out what I want with them.

I know.. I am very excited! My guess is that the lights will be in your hands middle of next week. They are fresh set of brand new headlights. Please be extra careful with them.

Really pad the ends and cornors of the headlight. Luckily you dont have coupe headlights, but they you dont want that glass to chip. You may also want to get insurance on them as well.

Thanks for the heads up. Since they were new from the dealership, they never left the original packaging they were shipped in. I also insured them for $1,800. Total cost of shipping them from socal to nyc was $66 ground via FedEx. Yikes! Hopefully it will be all worth it in the end. I will post up pics as soon as I get em back.

I'd never ship a lamp ever again! UPS broke my tail lights and it was package pretty well, but not well enough I guess... boxed looked like someone jumped on it.

That's exactly what I am doing. Matte black housing + PG Projector and Parking Shrouds. Also getting some halos on the projector shrouds. We'll see how they turn out.

Yeah, UPS is the worst! I actually purchased a set of painted headlights from another member here. However when they arrived, the box looked like someone played soccer with it. There were few broken tabs and metal parts inside. Hopefully, I will have a better luck with FedEx.

We actually just switched to using FedEx for all our big shipments. Were using UPS through PayPal but after they broke several of our spoilers and then refused to honor the insurance, I'm done with UPS.
