Default Need a shop to install HID?

Hi guys,

I recently bought a 6000K Kaixen HID kit, and need it installed. If anyone knows of a competent and reliable shop or person who can get it done, please let me know. Thank you.

If you are in OC area, I'd recommend Alpha Tint. I got my windows tinted there
and if you do a search, some1 got his HIDs installed there. I think he charged $60 or something.
below is the info :

11793 Beach Blvd. #A
Stanton, CA. 90680
714-379-2880 (Ask for Yong)

Good Luck!

if its a kit, it is pretty ez to install--just do piece at a type, locate a good spot to place the ballasts where water isnt liekly to reach and dont forget to zip tie it so it doent move, then replace the oem bulbs with the HID bulb and connect your plugs

She's located in Long Beach California. It is plug and play, but there are just a bunch of things you need to remove before you can get to the actual bulbs to replace. That's the difficult part. I popped the hood and saw it myself and there's no free access to the bulbs. You gotta remove a bunch of things and put them back together. But yeah, I'm currently in Las Vegas so I haven't been able to help her.

Yeah I installed it for her. I'm a Honda guy so it was pretty difficult taking on a Lexus. I had to remove quite a bit of things to get to the actual bulbs and there is really very little room to work with. I ran into a few problems and all in all, it took me about 4 hours as oppose to what it took my civic (5 minutes) to install. It looks much better though.

rip off!

I'm sure any nice fellow CL member can help you guys do it for free, if you live near Hacienda Heights, I can help as well.
