Body shop said HID kit will take 2 hours?
So I bought http://www.venomousstangz.net/index....roducts_id=149
My car is a 2010 v6
Body shop said it will take 2 hours because they have to remove my front end, I really dont think it takes that long, I could do it by myself but they forgot the instructions, I just emailed them 10 mins. ago

Yeah it's a real easy job. Are you dealing with Dante from Venomous stangs? He is a little slow but keep with him he gets things done in the end.
I just fitted the kit to both my headlights and fogs and my body kit is more awkward than stock and took me about 40 mins for both..... And that was while chatting to a friend, drinking beer and smoking a cig! I had to remove my CAI to gain access to one of the lights along with other stuff.
Do it yourself, you will feel more connected to your car and proud of the work you have done when you switch on the lights..... Plus more money in your pocket.

you guys are being a little harsh on shops. yes it might take only an hour to do, but its not like we can just drop what we are doing to add parts to your car wile you wait. i can see if they are charging two hours to do a simple install, but thats a whole other story. they could be telling you that because they never installed one, or dont even want the job. when i do stuff at home for others i allways over estimate just in case i come into a problem and adjust from there. but my times not cheap either. also they could be charging you for any extra wire or connectors that dont come with some kits. if you were to come to me and say i got this aftermarket part, no instructions and you want me to warrinty my install, i would charge time to find the instructions to. anyway wile i dont mined the work, i have more respect for those that bite the bullit and install there own parts. instead of wining about witch shop did this and that and ripped me off.

You're doing what most mechanics love to do, over exaggerating the variety of things you have to do even for a simple change.
