Default HID conversion kit install

I just recently purchased Mobile HID conversion kit but I am not comortable installing them myself. I located in Los Angeles and I am wondering if anyone knew any places that would install them professionally for a good price. I did some search and people are saying Alpha Tint charges $60.00 but when I called them the guy told me $120.00. I just think that is way too much.

Its not that bad! You have 2 different ways to install. iSuxeL has a DIY and so do I for you to use. If you use iSuxeL it may take you longer but its still a very simple plug and play install. Get another member in CA to help you out! You have 3/4 of the 2IS community in your backyard

I didn't mean you specifically I was referring to the threads we both have posted for a DIY install on the fogs...

I have offered to go to CA for a free ticket and a few nights out on the town. I could use a vaca

yah isuxel it took me 30 mins to figure out that you missed some screw lol...i had to try and figure it out myself when i was doing my fog install... its easy to do it yourself and learn how to do it also have fun with it. I was afraid of doing this but it was a fun experience Not hard at all just keep everything organized.

I bought mobile HID 5000k D4s bulbs. The worst investment IMO. They first mailed me the bulbs in record time (2 days), but after i've installed them i've noticed they were 2 different colors. My drivers side seemed to be very white at 5000k, but my passenger side was noticeably more purple almost 6000k. I've emailed support for a replacement, but 3 weeks later they only sent me 1 bulb that doesn't match neither color. I was completely pissed off. I managed to get a refund through pay pal, but I would never purchase from them or recommend anything from Mobile HID. Product seems to be sub par generic brands. Please try another company before considering Mobile HID.
