How much for..... (G37 coupe)

Hi.

I just went to a shop over the weekend, and asked how much would cost for changing the head light to 6000K (most white) and the HD Xenon Fog Light (3500K, super yellow).

The guy said it would cost about 580.00 with the kits and labor fees.

I asked him for more discount and he said that price is the best he can give.

Isn't 580 bucks for changing the head light bulbs and installing Xenon Fog Light Kit too much??

WAYYYYY too much.. vLed you can have the kit (HID) for the fogs $149... Or just replace the bulbs, headlights about $50-$90 ($6000k) fogs $10 (3500k yellow)

Autolumination.com

Then come back here and go to the "DIY" section and see how to replace them, good to go.. No labor involved.

Where are you located?

580 is ridiculous. There's no reason to charge that much. He might be trying to take advantage of you (maybe because you look young?).

Yes you have to lift the car...with the emergency jack that comes with the car. That is literally the only tool you need. Go to the DIY section and do what they say, you will save $$$$ and it'll be fun to go through it yourself
