HID install in Central Jersey?

Hey all, anyone here in the Central NJ area that can install a HID plug and play kit for me on a 2007 E350? All the shops around here are charging over $100. Let me know and we can negotiate a price. Thanks!

You kidding me? $100 for one plug and play kit install? It should be done in like 15 minutes if you know what you're doing and have small hands.

Exactly what I said. I told him i'm doing this to my wife's car so I can help him out since he might be near me.

This is why I hate going to shops for simple stuff if I don't have the time for it, because they try to rip people off from this ****...


I understand something more complicated like a coilover install $100 or more would be good since it will take a good amount of time. But sorry what you're charging for a 15 minute job is covering you at $399.00/ hour...Wish I had that hourly wage...

I'm in South NJ and I'd do it for you if you want to come down; always prepared to help if I can.

As long as you wire in a 2200uf capacitor (even on plug and play systems with BOW3) and get after market retainer clips that will actually hold the bulb in properly it's a relatively easy job, even for people like me that take the car to the dealership for oil changes.
