Hi folks. Have posted before but its been a while. Where's the best place to buy these for my 08' and how difficult is it to do on my own?

Yes, considering price of oems - any decently fitting aftermarket is ok.

Yeah, I obtained these from Amazon also 1 1/2 years ago for $30.

They were really easy to install and perform better than oems when oems were new. I put a little white silicon grease on them to facilitate the installation.

Dont know if you've bought them yet.
I got mine from O'Reilly for 20 bucks a piece. And get this...Made IN USA of all places
I think the brand is Stabilla. Work very well. The originals lasted 11 years. I bet these don't.
