Default led mirror labor quote

Hey guys, I just ordered the led mirrors, I was wondering how much you guys got quoted? I got quoted for 3 hours, so a total of 195. I was wondering if you guys got the same or cheaper quote. Preferably around the DC/MD/VA area. Thanks

I've heard of people pay between 100-125 for this type of installation at a non-dealership. You could save that money and DIY.

Yes, wired also. 3 hours of labor at $65 per, so a total of $195. I guess to the people who did it themselves, you think it takes 3 hours?

It can easily take 3 hours if you do it yourself and have no experience.

But if you know what you're doing and have some help, it can be done faster.

As much as I like this upgrade, this mod makes me nervous.... Seems like potential for problems (electrical and mechanical) if not done right.

I wish the dealer would just offer it as upgrade via service department, but the cost might be horrible.

Anyway, I still have them for sale on a regular basis and Tommy will still offer special price for install if you purchase the mirror from me.
