Lux Angel Eyes assist?

hey,

is there anyone in the Northern VA area that has experience with installing Lux Angel eyes (H8 160) in an e90 LCI? I recently purchased some and tried it, but the spacing is so small. Local shops want $300 for labor, so outside of returning these I was wondering if anyone has experience installing them without removing anything and would like to assist.

Or if you have a shop that you can vouch for that is cheap on the labor and actually knows how to do it.

Thanks!

It's very easy, you just need to be patient, and it helps if you have smaller hands. $300 for labor is so laughable it's bordering on criminal.

This job takes 20 minutes and is plug and play all the way.

put some nitrile gloves on so you don't tear up your hands and just feel your way around in the headlight.

yeah, I'm going to try again, probably this weekend.

Still I'm open to anyone offering an assist or shop that doesn't rob me.

When you take the cover off for the bulb. Make sure you grab a screw driver and unclip the black chip that holds the harness otherwise it wont fit. If you dont know what i'm talking about go over the instructions.
