Depo Projectors

I just purchased a pair of depo projector headlights on ebay from seller fishcake. I have a few questions. First of all has anyone bought from fishcake? Second I know this is DIY but I don't trust myself with installing anything on my car especially when it comes to wiring. What is the average installation cost? What have you guys paid to install these? And third, Im excited to see how they look after they are installed. I love the look of these headlights.

If you're installing it to the post-face lift model, there is no wirings modification at all. It's just plug and play, get a screwdriver to help you unclip those little annoying clips It's super easy! First time, it took me 2-3 hours, second time it took me 18-25 minutes only for removal Get a partner to remove it anyway, gonna need one.

Oh yeah, to answer your question, I did quote for it one time and the guy quoted me for $300!!!! RIP-OFF!!!
