Arrow LED Foglights

Just ordered these Philips 12824WLEDX1 DayLight 8 High Powered Luxeon LED Daytime Running Light:Amazon:Automotive
I want to get them installed professionally, what is a fair price? Does best buy do this kind of work? Does anyone know any other places that might do it?

Best buy probably could, but most local alarm or stereo installers should be able to do it as well.

Police/Fire vehicle upfitting shops might also do it. Obviously, they work with vehicle lighting all the time.

Hmmm.... very good question, and one that I cannot answer accurately. I would imagine under $100, but that's not based of facts or experience, just assumption.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to have them professionally installed? They should be pretty easy to DIY.

In-between the foglights lower space on the grill. Bestbuy just quoted me $80.00 an hour how many hours do you think it should take a professional?

i would say this is a 2-3 hour job... furthermore... i would NEVER use best buy, why let some HS kid try and botch this job. find a legit small busn stereo/alarm installer local and have them do it... to give you an idea. My shop is a high end custom shop, we charge $75 an hour and are considered to be on the high end but our vehicles/bikes are show quality, best buy is $80 and used zip ties and electrical tape... they do not even solder conections! i would NEVER let them touch any of my rides.

Question are the two spaces on the lower front of the Outlander used for anything? One of the flaps has a space and a plastic cover the other one has the space but it has no cover.

The opening is to allow airflow to the trans cooler. If you look back into the hole you should see a radiator. Be cautious with impeding airflow to it.

If I were to put the led light there do you think it would cause major problems?
