Depends on how thorough you are being with the wiring modifications you are going to do to the car getting the lights. If you had another car, you would in theory be able to swap the MPX ECU and get full functionality of the LED strips.

For what most people would do, I'd say 2-3 hours, depending on what you do and at what speed you're moving at, and if you've taken things apart before or not.

Thanks for the response guys. So by the looks of it this isnt a simple decently priced swp is it? I can't find a write up on it. Im going to do more research later.

it's honestly pretty quick as long as you know how to do the wiring... I've done so many of them that it takes me a hour max including wiring...

Is there a diagram or writeup on a these conversion? Id like to know what I need from the dealer to make this oem as possible. The price of the headlights are ridiculous but they do come with hid bulbs, ballas,t and levelers? from what I was told. But after reading this again you need a harness and ecu?
