LUX Angel Eyes Install in the Bay Area?

aytang22 · 04-16-2012, 04:24 AM

I know I should install these myself, but I live in SF and don't have a garage or space to install. Do you know any shop in the Bay Area that would install these for a reasonable price?

Thanks!

You do not need a garage or a lot of space to install them. All you need is about 30 minutes and someone with small hands.

+1 with Foodle. It does take about 30 minutes - and the only tool you would need is a flathead screwdriver to remove the plastic cover to access the AE bulb housing. When you do the install, feed the LUX unit heatsink down first; then try to insert it to the housing. There are 3 tabs you have to line up to allow for the new LED units to lock in place.

PM me... I'll give you a hand if you need help. I'm in SF. It's not hard and I've installed them quite a few times.

Just DIY, or drop by our shop and we'll take care of it for you

A shop to install Lux's?????

And I thought I wasn't mechanically inclined. LOL

20-minutes to install both tops.

Flat head screw driver is all you need.

you must have space. where do you park your car? DIY dude. took me 10mins each side

nchan50 · 04-16-2012, 09:31 PM

Wouldn't it be easy to just drive to a parking lot or even a gas station 5-10 minutes outside of SF to do it? I live in NYC and did it at a gas station. Took 20-30 minutes and was pretty easy.

You can do it yourself.
Don't need a shop or garage.
Just pop open the hood where it sits now.

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I admit I felt lame asking the question in the first place. I'll try it myself. Thanks!

Good luck, but you likely won't need it

It's a super easy install, unless you have hulk hands.

LuxAngelEyes · 04-25-2012, 11:27 AM

Take a look at our install guide we have posted to our website, its a fairly easy DIY job. Its just a small space to work in thats all.
