Search this site, you can do it yourself for about $10 in parts and 1/2 hour---or pay a shop to do it for you cheaper much cheaper than $150---I suspect what you get from the auction is a set of directions (the same ones that are posted here for free) and switch that you can buy from radio shack for less than $10.

Tony, damn...I was there last month.
Tell ya what.......cover my air expense, and I'll do it for you.
That would be the 11th or 12th one so far.

Joel, drop me a messg. if you want help. I also have the xenon depot kit installed as well.

Randy - You may want to get "clarification" on exactly what qualifies as an "expense" for that effort. In my case, expenses would include visits to the local strip bar and about $1,200 on the craps tables... Although I have not yet tried to do this to my GX, I'd be willing to do yours for you if you covered my "expenses"!
