it's fairly simple... there's a DIY... follow it and you're good... i would say... right around 100 depending on where and how much they charge hourly..

+1 on DDM Tuning. A group of friends got me the slim ballast kit for my birthday and it's been great. No problems and looks great. Thinking about ordering a kit for fogs too $29.99 and life time warranty. Can't go wrong with that.

well as far as bad quality, i dont know much about the internal circuitry of their ballasts, all i know is ive had one of their kits installed in my 2IS for about 3 months now and everything has been great and they look amazing

I've had mine installed for 9 months. Bulbs and ballast have zero problems at the moment.

i recommend xenondepot. I had them on my rsx and now my is350 and they work like a charm! great build quality and never had any problems with them. Ask for steve in the classifieds section, he'll hook you up.
