Hook them up yourself, it's not too difficult.

i think i found someone to do it over a case a beer and 4 hours to kill. I also found some Krylon stained glass window spray paint...this is going to look sick.

I painted my fogs with the same paint and they looked ok at first. Now I'm glad they use salt on the roads in the winter here because my fog lenses are clear again and look 10 times better than they did painted. I just put some yellow bulbs in them and am quite pleased.

Oh, and it shouldn't take 4 hours to install them.

I used lamin-x on mine. I was gonna paint them but the paint gives it a more amberish dark yellow and I wanted the bright yellow color. I think the yellow makes them stand out more. Without any color, they just look plain. www.lamin-x.com works great.
