adobeee · 08-09-2011, 07:58 PM

Hi all,

I have a 2008 BMW 128i and wanted to ask if anyone know of any shops/anyone willling to install my HID Alpine v3s.

Thanks all! I'm willing to pay as long as it's cheaper than dealership rates.

I called quite a few auto shops and they charge around $100-125/hour for labor and say it 'might' take longer than an hour, when it really shouldn't..

I'm hoping to find someone around the Bay Area to help me install at a cheaper price.

Did you ever find a place? I'm looking at ALL PRO AUDIO, and CK AUTO IMAGE, as likely Bay Area audio installers for some work on my 128.

I ended up meeting with a fellow 1addicts member and we both installed it together. only took around 1 hour for novices like us!

For future non-dealer work, Performance Technic in Pleasanton is great. Their rates are competitive and they are strictly BMW. To be honest, I don't trust anyone else.

And yes, how about some photos.

They aren't actually that green/blue-ish. It's just my iPhone isn't good at color balancing. It's white in-person (7000k).

No issues so far after owning these for about 2 months. Hope this helps!
