Default Price to install factory foglights?

i have a 00 Si and a friend of mine was gonna hook me up with some OEM foglights and i was wondering if anyone has an idea of what a decent body shop would charge to install and wire them in? i've seen on jdmfan.com on how to do it, but i don't trust myself cutting holes in my bumper.

A mechanic from the local dealership did mine as a side job for me at the dealership for $20.

diy it..is fool proof.
I think the si fog light cover(grey part) cover the edge good.
just dont cut a mega size hole and you'll be fine.

cut out a couple pieces of cardboard to replicate the foglight covers then outline it on the front bumper, very easy, took me a couple of hours to cut it out.

See!!!

It's an easy job...The instructions tell you to use a hole-saw attachment of a certain size to do a majority of it, but you can just preforate the preset lines for the foglights by using a small drill bit. Drill holes along the line as close together as possible, then use a box cutter to connect to dots. As long as you don't go way off the lines you'll be fine because the trim piece will cover it up. I say save your money by DIY, and spend it on some PIAA ION gold H3 bulbs for the fogs...Good Luck!

Quik

Trust me you can do it your self.

I took mine to the honda dealership and they charged me $180 F*cking Dollars

It's dummy proof, I realized that after I got mine installed.

Just pull the bumper off & check out the inside of it. It shows you where you need to cut it. If you feel that you can't do it, then pay some one, but at least take a look first. When it comes to the wiring, just follow the directions. It's just plug in & your ready to go...

save the money and do it yourself, that way if anything goes wrong in the future you know how to fix it.
