Where to get fog lights installed on an RSX? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I have fog lights for my 03 type s rsx and I really want them installed asap. Too complicated to do them myself. Takes about an hour or 2. I called a few places and they want to charge me $150 which is nuts.. Any ideas on where to go?

Well. if you want it done right, paying a GOOD shop to do it isn't a bad idea. Remember they have to wire them in, install a switch for you, which requjires removing what ever panel they are going to install it on.

that means you must pay a premium to have someone else do it for you.

if they're factory fogs, you have to remove the front bumper, remove the stock covers or even drill to fit in some cases, wire them in, install the switch, etc. Then, you have to put it all back together. The current body/paint labor rates are between $46 and $48. 2 hours in labor is $100 alone, and i highly doubt they'll bill out only two hours. plus, every shop i've ever been to charges an extra 20% if you bring your own parts.

go with the $150 or do it yourself.

Yea u need to drill out the holes for the fogs. I know 150 is reasonable but i would stil shop around, because i know some shops that would do it for cheaper.

Your not too far from me. I'm sure we could figure it out in an afternoon along with some beers and something on the grill. As long as you don't gotta cut the bumper, it shouldn't be hard at all.

Got them installed

I ended up going to a new body shop. They had to cut into my bumper so it cost me $100. Not bad. They look great... I'll post pics. Thanks for all the ideas. Still up for beer and burgers though.
